Finney has gone 10-0 against Lima Christian recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Wednesday. The Finney Falcons will head out to square off against the Lima Christian Saints at 4:30 p.m. Finney will be strutting in after a victory while Lima Christian will be coming in after a loss.

Lima Christian is hoping to do what Young Women's College Prep couldn't on Tuesday: put an end to Finney's winning streak (dating back to last season), which now stands at six games. Finney blew past Young Women's College Prep, posting a 50-20 win.

Lima Christian kicked off their season on the road on Monday and hit a couple of potholes. They fell to Northstar Christian Academy/Chesterton Academy 57-53. The match was a 24-24 toss-up at halftime, but the Saints couldn't quite close it out.

Despite the defeat, Lima Christian saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Alyssa Marsh dropped a double-double on 35 points and 15 steals. Those 15 steals gave Marsh a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Sophy Britton, who posted 14 points and four steals.

Everything went Finney's way against Lima Christian in their previous meeting back in January, as Finney made off with a 61-39 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Finney since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
