Carolina M has played every game this season on their home court, but they'll have to hit the road on Tuesday. They will square off against the Cresset Christian Academy Eagles at 6:15 p.m. Hopefully Carolina M focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 17 on Friday.

Carolina M's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Abigail Faison, who scored 12 points along with 8 rebounds and 3 steals. Faison is absolutely dominating the rebound category: she's posted at least eight every time she's taken the court this season. Catie Alexander was another key contributor, scoring 12 points.

Keep an eye on the arc in Tuesday's match: Carolina M have been dynamite from deep this season, having only made 32.7% of their threes per game. It's a different story for Cresset Christian Academy, though, as they've only made 0% of theirs this season. Given Carolina M's sizeable advantage in that area, Cresset Christian Academy will need to find a way to close that gap.
Carolina M strolled past Cresset Christian Academy in their previous meeting back in January by a score of 60-42. The rematch might be a little tougher for Carolina M since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
