Archbishop McNicholas better keep an eye on Peyton Mounce. She was instrumental in Urbana's win, almost dropping a double-double with 36 points and nine rebounds.

Archbishop McNicholas has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-10 record this season.

Urbana pushed their record up to 21-4 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home.
