It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but McClave had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Flagler Panthers 61-23. The Cardinals have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 17 matchups by 28 points or more this season.
Abrielle Gomez was her usual excellent self, going 8-for-13 en route to 24 points along with three steals and three blocks. She has been hot for a while, having posted two or more steals the last 30 times she's played. Another player making a difference was Emily Melgoza, who posted eight points in addition to six assists and five rebounds.
McClave smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 14 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 14 offensive boards in three consecutive games.
Flagler's loss came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Lexi Witt, who scored seven points. The team also got some help courtesy of Rylie Berry, who earned seven points.
McClave has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-2 record this season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 42 points. Flagler's defeat dropped their record down to 14-10.
Coming up, McClave will challenge Hi-Plains on Thursday. McClave's defense has only allowed 29 points per game this season, so Hi-Plains' offense will have their work cut out for them. Flagler does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
