Mountain View Christian Academy (VG)

After almost a week-long break for the varsity girls, the Warriors made the trek down the Winchester, Virginia, for a triple-header agaisn't Mountain View Christian Academy. After witnessing a sound victory for the middle school boys, the Warrior ladies took the court. It was very good to have Emily Passarelli back in the game, as her ankle was healing. They were ready to play what they felt might be the most physical game they had played all season. MVCA had a huge size advantage and were very aggresive, but our ladies were tough and didn't let the size advantage get to them too much. The Warriors pulled down rebounds, and were able to steal the ball several times. For the first time this season, the Warriors led almost the entire game!

Despite the man-to-man defense MVCA threw at the them, the Warriors kept their cool and got back into their rhythm. Their zone defense was very effective, and forced Mountain View to shoot mainly outside shots. With only three nail-biting minutes remaining, the Warriors tried to simply burn time because MVCA was only a point or two away at times. During those three minutes, the Warriors were able to increase the gap thanks to foul trouble from Mountain View, which was in the bonus for most of the 4th quarter. As the last buzzer sounded and the scoreboard read "Mountain View: 23 - Guest: 25" the Warriors were overjoyed with a victory. Great game ladies!
