The Anchorage Christian Schools girls basketball team defended its Southcentral Conference crown Saturday with a 69-31 victory over Nikiski at Cordova High School.

In the third quarter, Dickerson scored 11 points again and ACS led 55-23 heading into the fourth quarter. Brynn Tennyson added 12 points for ACS.

For Nikiski, Rachel Thompson led the way with eight points.
