Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Sacred Heart walked away with it. They took down the Kelliher/Northome Mustangs 70-56 on Friday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Eagles also won the last time the pair played back in December of 2019.
When it comes to explaining why Kelliher/Northome lost, don't look at Kylee Binkley. Despite the final result, she went 7-for-12 to rack up 26 points along with five rebounds and three steals. The matchup was Binkley's 14th in a row with at least 17 points. Kate Thayer was another key player, putting up 11 points in addition to seven boards and five steals.
Sacred Heart has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-5 record this season. With the defeat, Kelliher/Northome broke their 16-game winning streak and moved their record to 26-4.
Coming up, Sacred Heart will take on St. Mary's on Thursday. St. Mary's will roll in looking for their seventh straight win, something Sacred Heart surely won't give up without a fight. Kelliher/Northome does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
