The second meeting of the season between Washington Catholic Athletic Conference powers No. 2 St. John's (Washington, D.C.) and No. 3 Bishop McNamara (Forestville, Md.) went much the same as the first did last month.

Another win for St. John's (25-1) and another big performance from super sophomore guard Azzi Fudd.

In the first meeting back on Jan. 22, Fudd scored 18 points as the Cadets prevailed in overtime 67-65. This time around she poured in 28 as St. John's took care of business 64-58.

A third meeting could be in store during the WCAC tournament later this month.

Future Mississippi State Bulldog Aliyah Matharu, a 5-foot-7 senior guard, paced Bishop McNamara (23-2) in the scoring column with 20 points.

The only loss of the season for national championship hopeful St. John's came against No. 1 Miami Country Day (Miami, Fla.) on Dec. 20 at the Nike Tournament of Champions.
