A week of firsts and records.

 

The firsts for the season for the Lady Knights as they dropped two games this week to very challenging opponents.

Two losses this week equalled the total losses on the season.  With the seasons record now at 12-4 the Lady Knights have made a statement.  Competing and winning are to be expected.

 

The team played at Indian Hill early in the week, the number one team in Division II, and was handed quite a challenge.  A record setting performance by Logan Warye lead the way for the Lady Knights as she set a single game scoring record posting 42 points on the night.  Congratulations Logan!  Along with the scoring Logan was the team’s leading rebounder on the night with 18 and Lauren Collier pulled down 10 rebounds also.  Maggie Donnellan turned in a solid performance with a game high 6 assists.  The success was overshadowed by the loss of point guard Katie Stevens.  The second Lady Knight to end her season early with a knee injury.  However the team hung tight and had the opportunity to tie the game in the last seconds with a shot that just bounced off the rim.  The first loss of the week.

 

With just one day to plan an attack for Walnut Hills, and regroup after loosing a point guard the Lady Knights took their fight onto the court again.    It was a tall order to get the job done in this showdown of the top two teams in the FAVC Cardinal Division.  This rough and tumble game proved too much for the Lady Knights as they fell to Walnut Hills 37-54.  They will have one more chance to beat Walnut Hills in the last regular season game of the year, two weeks from now. 

 

On Saturday the team got back to their winning ways at Wilmington with a commanding 52-41 win keeping the potential for a co-championship in the league alive.  The senior leadership is making a statement as Maggie Donnellan handled the point guard position with confidence while contributing 8 points and two blocked shots.  Leading all scorers was Lauren Collier with 15 points, most notably she was 5 for 5 from the floor. Logan Warye also scored in double figures chipping in 13 points as the Lady Knights bring their league record up to 7-1.
