"The seniors are our backbone," said Cavalier coach Liz Padgett after the game. "You got one of the top lacrosse players in the area, you got one of the top soccer players in the area and then you got Olivia, who obousiously can shoot three’s that we weren’t aware of. As a team player, she’s our leader when it comes to that stuff. She will do what ever and when ever what ever position. Between the three of them, you couldn’t ask for a better trio to lead."
South Carroll won the opening tip and Slifer took it in for a lay-up which took all of five seconds. The Cavaliers never trailed in the game and was up by eight before three minutes were gone.
