Having just played yesterday, the Northridge Raiders will jump right back in to play the Warsaw Tigers at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Northridge is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They claimed a resounding 63-21 win over Goshen. The Raiders haven't had any issues with the RedHawks recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Warsaw faced off against Elkhart on Friday. Warsaw took their game with ease, bagging a 67-36 win over Elkhart. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Lions are ranked 115th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Warsaw, bringing their record for this year to 22-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 28.8 points over those games. As for Northridge, their record now sits at 21-4.
Things could have been worse for Northridge, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 60-44 loss to Warsaw in their previous meeting back in January. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Warsaw's Joslyn Bricker, who made all 6 shots she took from beyond the arc racking up 27 points and six rebounds. Now that Northridge knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
