Despite the loss, Mt. Vernon saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Zoey Wood posted 15 points and three steals. Wood is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in each of the last three games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Kendra Ash, who scored eight points and five rebounds.
Meanwhile, Roncalli had to kick off their season on the road on Tuesday, but they showed no ill effects. They blew past Columbus East 72-46. The victory continues a trend for the Royals in their matchups with the Olympians: they've now won three in a row.
Mt. Vernon beat Roncalli 55-47 in their previous matchup back in February of 2021. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Royals' Maddie Bischoff, who shot 55% from beyond the arc on her way to 26 points and six boards. Now that she won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for the Marauders to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
