The Lady Firebirds entered the regular season straight off a preseason win with Ira Murphy traveling to the Heritage Eagles. Heritage opened the game aggressively, forcing turnovers until Tiphani took over scoring three straight baskets in the first quarter alone. Desert Palms held a 6-4 advantage at the break. The Lady Firebirds pressed the Eagles holding Heritage to a lone basket in the second half, while adding 10 points themselves. The first half ended with a 16-6 Desert Palms' lead.
Desert Palms was led in scoring by Nicole and Tiphani with 14 points each. Megan added 4 and Amy 2. The game quickly fell out of reach as the Lady Firebirds raced to a 24-6 third quarter score due to Darielle's hustle for loose balls, Laura's feisty defense, and the tough play of Marina---grabbing errant passes and stopping Heritage's dribbling. Monica and Marcella stood tall, creating a human wall holding back all Eagle players.
Final Score: Desert Palms 40 Heritage 13.
