It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact the Academic Magnet Raptors can now relate to. They fell just short of the Wolverines by a score of 37-35. Academic Magnet was given a dose of their own medicine in this game as Woodland apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in February of 2017.
Academic Magnet's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Grace Reuben, who scored four points along with ten rebounds. Reuben hasn't dropped below eight rebounds for five straight games. Lindsey Griffin was another key contributor, scoring nine points.
Academic Magnet dropped their record down to 7-19 with that defeat, which was their seventh straight on the road. That rough patch could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 29.7 points per game. As for Woodland, they are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 9-13 record this season.
Academic Magnet does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Woodland also has no future games currently scheduled.
