It's playoff time, and Phoenix Country Day had no trouble coming through when it counted. They beat the Page Sand Devils on Saturday by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 62-35. The Eagles have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 24 matches by 21 points or more this season.

Phoenix Country Day was led to victory by Olivia Owens and Aila Kaibara. Owens went 10-for-18 to rack up 24 points along with six steals and five assists, while Kaibara almost dropped a double-double with 20 points and nine rebounds. The contest was Owens' fourth in a row with at least 20 points. Madison Gordon was another key player, putting up five points and ten boards.

Phoenix Country Day has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 19 of their last 20 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 29.1 points on average over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Page and nudges their season record down to 19-11.

As of now, neither Phoenix Country Day nor Page have any future games scheduled.
