Cardinals: 8 vs. Wolverines: 31

The Cardinals knew they had a big challenge with today’s game as the
Wolverines were the only undefeated team in the league. Our team went with
8 players, as Christina Capachietti had to miss due to a game with her
travel team. We did our best to match up against this really tough team.
Bella Dematos, Courtney Capachietti, Kristen Curley, Kylie Galvin, and
Olivia Burns worked hard to swing the ball and set up a good shot. We did
score off a jump shot by Olivia Burns, but for that quarter, that was our
only offense. For the Wolverines they were successful setting up great
shots, great passes, and as well finished fast breaks with a score. Our
second five of Ava Piccolo, Kristen Curley, Gabby Navarette, and Becca
Langone, worked hard to keep the baskets to a minimum. We had great success
with the press and as well responding to the press put on by the Wolverines.
The game was out of reach leading into the fourth quarter, but we made sure
we never quit and gave it our all each play. Rounding out the scoring
today were Courtney Capachietti with four points, Olivia Burns with two
points, and Becca Langone with two. The Cardinals will work hard this
coming week to prepare for our next game.

Pacers played well on offense getting quality shots for most of the game. However the shots were not falling on the day and also could not contain the 3-point shooting of the red hot Blazers.

Scoring for the Pacers was Emma Demos and Briana Walker with 6 each, Kendall Donahoe with 4, Caitlyn Fiore, Mikaela Enax, and Shannon Crowley with 2 each, and Katelyn Quinn-Cyr added a free throw.
