It's playoff time, and St. Vincent de Paul had no trouble coming through when it counted. They blew past the Grace Christian Academy Lions, posting a 58-27 victory. The Mustangs have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 14 matches by 20 points or more this season.

Hailey Sarlatte was the offensive standout of the contest as she almost dropped a double-double with nine points and 12 rebounds. She also grabbed five steals, which is notable because St. Vincent de Paul is 8-1 when she posts at least three steals, but 9-10 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Amya Sims, who posted 12 points and three steals.

St. Vincent de Paul smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 21 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 16 offensive rebounds in three consecutive games.

St. Vincent de Paul has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-11 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 26.3 points over those games. Grace Christian Academy's loss dropped their record down to 17-4.

Looking ahead, St. Vincent de Paul will take on Ferndale at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Grace Christian Academy does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
