Santa Catalina unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were outmatched by the Marina Mariners at home and fell 48-6. The Cougars were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Mariners apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in December of 2021.

Leading Marina to victory were Mia Martin and Shekinah Williams. Martin almost dropped a double-double on 16 points and nine steals, while Williams had 18 points along with eight rebounds and seven steals. The match was Williams' third in a row with at least ten points. Bianca Borja was another key player, earning eight points.

Marina's win ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-1.

Santa Catalina will square off against Palma at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Marina has already played their next contest (against Santa Catalina), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
