After losing to Toronto the last time they met, Madonna decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Madonna Blue Dons snuck past the Toronto Red Knights with a 43-37 win on Thursday. Given the Blue Dons' advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 105th in West Virginia, while the Red Knights are ranked 617th in Ohio), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Several Red Knights players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Tatum Derrington, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and 12 rebounds. Derrington is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last four games she's played. Josie Dickinson was another key player, putting up six points along with six boards and four steals.
