The Wylie girls basketball team led Class 4A No. 3 Fredericksburg 42-37 after three quarters Saturday, but offensive struggles in the fourth resulted in a 49-45 loss at Bulldog Gym.

The Lady Bulldogs, who used an 11-7 run through the third quarter to build on a one-point halftime lead, managed just three points over the final eight minutes to drop another close game to a ranked opponent.

Saturday’s defeat, which followed a 41-37 loss to Class 3A No. 8 Jim Ned, dropped Wylie to 4-4 on the year.
