The Latin Romans just played last yesterday, but they'll still welcome the La Lumiere Lakers at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
On Friday, Latin earned a 54-45 win over Oak Park-River Forest. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Romans.
Meanwhile, La Lumiere had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 30.5 points) and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. They took their match with ease, bagging a 74-28 victory over the Defenders. The Lakers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight contests by 24 points or more this season.
La Lumiere pushed their record up to 13-3 with the win, which was their ninth straight on the road. As for Latin, their victory bumped their record up to 15-7.
Things could have been worse for Latin, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 69-50 loss to La Lumiere when the teams last played back in January. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of La Lumiere's Lauren Walsh, who posted 34 points. Now that Latin knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
