They knew they were headed into a stretch of tough games, but they were enjoying a much improved season over last year's winless campaign.
Facing Cambridge Springs was a tough test for the Orioles - they were pushed around all night as they battled in a Region 2 matchup.
In the end, the Orioles low shooting percentage and ball handling mistakes were their Achilles heel as they fell 48-17 to the Blue Devils.
The homestanding Rocky Grove team managed only six points on 1 and 17 shooting in the first half while giving up 25. The second went a little bit better for the Orioles, who were playing without starter forward Zoey Cresswell for the second game in a row. They managed 11 points in the second half, but Cambridge added an additional 23 to their despite being is foul trouble.
In the end Rocky Grove was 5 for 31 for field goals and 7 for 16 from the foul line.
The Orioles are 6-4 on the season. They are scheduled to host Maplewood, one of the top teams in District 10, on Monday.
