It's playoff time, and Mercy had no trouble coming through when it counted. They simply couldn't be stopped on Monday as they easily beat the Bridgeport Central Hilltoppers 70-30. The Tigers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight contests by 23 points or more this season.

Bridgeport Central lost despite a true team effort on offense. The best among them was Saniyha Mojica, who posted eight points. Those eight points gave her a new career-high.

Mercy has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.4 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Bridgeport Central and nudges their season record down to 6-15.

Looking ahead, Mercy will be playing at home against Glastonbury at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Bridgeport Central does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
