Mater Lakes Academy had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They breezed past the Bishop Verot Vikings to the tune of 28-0 on Wednesday. Winning may never get old, but the Bears sure are getting used to it with their seventh in a row.

A big part of Mater Lakes Academy's win came down to the chemistry between Valentina Builes and her top target Nicole Regalado. Builes threw for 178 yards and four TDs while completing 73.7% of her passes while Regalado picked up 53 receiving yards and a pair of scores. That's the most passing yards Builes has posted since back in February.

On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Mater Lakes Academy's defense and their four sacks. In fact, those sacks all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Alessandra Wandembergh. She is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as she's now made six or more in each of the last six games she's played.

Mater Lakes Academy's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 26.3 points over those games. As for Bishop Verot, with the loss, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 9-3.

Coming up, Mater Lakes Academy will be playing in front of their home fans against Northwestern at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. The Bulls' defense has only allowed 6.2 points per game this season, so the Bears' offense will have their work cut out for them. Bishop Verot does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
