It's playoff time, and Woodland Baptist Christian had no trouble coming through when it counted. They enjoyed a cozy 70-55 win over the Victory Christian Cardinals on Thursday. The Eagles' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.

It was another big night for Tabitha Airo, who went 6-for-10 from beyond the arc to rack up 29 points along with seven rebounds and three steals. The contest was her fourth in a row with at least 18 points.

Despite the loss, Victory Christian saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Marissa Sloan dropped a double-double with 17 points and 16 boards. Sloan is also on a roll when it comes to shooting accuracy, as she's posted one of at least 50% in the last four games she's played. Zoe Vernelson was another key player, putting up 12 points and five rebounds.

Woodland Baptist Christian is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 53.8 points over those games. Victory Christian's defeat dropped their record down to 9-9.

Looking ahead, Woodland Baptist Christian won't have much time to rest: their next game is against New Manna Christian at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as New Manna Christian comes in on three and Woodland Baptist Christian on four. Victory Christian does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
