Olentangy had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They came out on top against the Olentangy Liberty Patriots by a score of 55-45 on Wednesday. This was payback for the Braves, who suffered a 51-40 loss the last time these two teams met.

Despite the loss, Olentangy Liberty still got an impressive performance from Maria Stack, who almost dropped a double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Stack a new career-high in assists (six). Ally Fisher was another key player, putting up seven points.

Olentangy is on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-3 record this season. Olentangy Liberty's defeat ended a nine-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 18-6.

Looking ahead, Olentangy will head out on the road to challenge Pickerington Central at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday. Pickerington Central is on a 11-game streak of home wins, Olentangy a six-game streak of away wins -- so someone will have to leave a streak behind on the court. Olentangy Liberty does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
