Mount de Sales won the regular season of the Interscholastic Athletic Association B regular season with a 49-41 victory over visiting John Carroll.

Both teams came to the match with a perfect 7-0 conference record with the winner to win the top seeds for the upcoming playoffs and the losers settled for the second with the remaining match.

De Sales (20-5, 8-0) is led by Junior Ella Powers who scored 17 highest teams of the team and added three assists, four rebounds and three steals.

After John Carroll, Pieper McCue (the highest game of 20 points) made a short jump to cut the advantage of Mount De’s sales to 42-41 with 59 seconds remaining in the game, Katie Carroll’s free throw pushed the advantage into two. Following Patriots’s turnover in the fourth quarter, Powers made a pair of free throwing to encourage the advantage to 45-41 with 37 seconds left.

“I’m a little nervous,” Powers said. “I just made a sign of the cross, all the glory to God and I know that we will succeed in the end even if I miss it. I know that they will go down and pollute other players, so we will finally get the free throw. “

Shelby Lewis, who became the sales player of Mount De Destal in school history to exceed 1,000 points early this season, was completed with only five points because he was burdened with a rotten problem.

But when he returned in the fourth quarter, Carnegie-Mellon recruitment proved its fabrication. He transported six out of 10 rebounds and had two assists.

“I think he’s the best player at Conference B,” said coach John Carroll Jim Stromberg. “When he returned in the game, he was a facilitator, like he would get the ball and I didn’t think he shot him. He made some very good operands for 3s. “

At the beginning of the match, John Carroll (14-4, 7-1) used 3-point by Grace Marchetti and VIV Carrico to build a 10-0 advantage. Everything continues to look gloomy to the sailors when Lewis gets his second violation with 2:41 remaining in the first quarter. But 3-point by Powers helps seafarers rise in four.

Powers converted the 3-point game to cut the deficit into one at the beginning of the second quarter, but the basket by Grace Marchetti and McCue gave patriots 16-11. Lewis took his three violations with more than six minutes left and sat in the rest of the round.

That’s when the sailors rose with 10-2 running to close the round with a 21-18 advantage.

“I think one of the biggest parts of the game is when Shelby comes out in the second quarter, they really get excellence,” Stromberg said. “The best player on the floor is [Powers]. He’s very good. “

Powers has six points, including 3-point, three rebounds and two assists in the second quarter and the point guard realizes that his team must respond without their top scorer.

“We really have to work together and that the middle will be more open because they will not join with [Lewis]”He said.

Seafarers also switched from 1-3-1 to men-to-human to trigger comeback.

“We can’t play zones against them,” said Mount De coach, Trish Armstrong. “They are too good, they have too many shooters.”

The seafarers’ shooters have also appeared in the last three quarters. Sarah Litz made three 3-point points for that range and Katie Carroll (12 points, 10 rebounds) and Quinn Hastings each made a key perimeter shot. Hastings broke the 25-25 tie with the first point of his university’s career. He scored 27 points in the victory of JV Seaman before the university match.

Carroll shot is more dramatic. He turned Jumper Turnaround in the buzzer to give sailors a 29-25 advantage after three quarters.

“Katie always makes the strange shot,” Powers said.

Patriots rose and led 37-36 with 3-pointer by Ella Campbell, but a short jumper by Mackenzie Conley in the middle of the fourth quarter gave sailors the excellence they would never release.

“It was a good middle school match and this was a long year, but they were a better team after we took 10-0,” Stromberg said. “I think that since then they were a better team. We hang there. I think Pieper really makes us stay in the game. “

Stromberg, who has 421 career wins, can see Armstrong’s troops again in the IAAM final if the top two are progressing. Armstrong approaches 300 wins, but knows beating John Carroll in the regular season does not mean anything.

Last year, the sailors defeated Patriot at the end of the regular season, but were eliminated by Patriot in the conference semifinals.

“We all know that we have to wake up for this game,” Powers said. “We all watched the game movies the day before and we all had pain because we lost them and so we were all ready to go out and only got it.”

“We won the battle, it was not a war,” Armstrong said. “Our girls know that. They know there are more work to do. “
