Olivia Mortensen had an outrageously good game as she almost dropped a double-double on 18 points and nine rebounds. The matchup was her 12th in a row with at least ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of Kennedy Martin, who went 5 for 10 en route to 10 points plus five rebounds and two steals.

Legacy was able to grind out a solid win over Castle View in their previous matchup back in February of 2019, winning 47-40. The rematch might be a little tougher for Legacy since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
