JV Girls Top Linden to Continue Win Streak

Game Date
Jan 18, 2022
Score
MARAUDERS: 36
LINDEN HIGH SCHOOL: 29

After a week and a half that seemed to be a rerun from the 2020-21 season - with 3 games being canceled or postponed due to COVID - the JV Lady Marauders finally got back into action against the visiting Linden Eagles. While the game itself was a last-second addition, the extra practice time showed, as the ladies put together their most complete game yet this season topping the Eagles 36-29 to move to 5-2 (4-0 MMAC).

The Lady Marauders pressure on the defensive end helped set the tone for the contest throughout - producing 20 steals on 31 Eagle turnovers. Offensively, the ladies also ramped up their intensity and aggressiveness, while assisting on 11 of 15 made shots from the field.

"I'd say this was our most complete game yet," stated Coach Belill. "Despite the down time for the couple of weeks, the ladies have been putting in the work, and it really showed here tonight."

While the hoop seemed to have a lid on it for the 1st quarter (OE led just 3-2 after the first 8 minutes), they blew that open by scoring 12 points in the 2nd quarter and 18 points in the 3rd quarter.

El Carman (16 pts, 6 rebounds, 5 steals, 2 blocks), Haylee Palus (8 pts, 9 steals, 5 assists), and Maddie Thornton (2 pts, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 assists) led the way for OE tonight - but the defensive pressure, execution, and ball movement by the entire team tonight was a testament to their focus and drive.

Ovid-Elsie's scoring was rounded out by Natalie Stoneman (3 pts), Hailie McCreery (2 pts), Aubrey Kurka (2 pts, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks), Trinity Ziola (2 pts, 3 rebounds), and Tava Kvalevog (1 point).

Thursday will bring about the JV Girls' next game - as they'll travel to Montrose for a 5:30 PM tipoff.
