If the Mullen Broncos were riding high off their 55-9 takedown of the Sandhills Valley Mavericks last Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. Mullen fell to Crawford 36-31. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Mullen of the 48-31 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in December of 2021.
When it comes to explaining why Mullen lost on Tuesday, one person who can't be blamed is Hayley Donohoe. Despite the final result, she dropped a double-double on 21 points and 15 rebounds. Donohoe is trending in the right direction, as she's improved her point production for three games straight. The team also got some help courtesy of Peyton Paxton, who scored two points along with six steals.
Britney Klein continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines for Crawford, scoring 16 points along with six rebounds and three steals. Klein also posted two blocks for the first time this season. Another player making a difference was Kiera Brennan, who scored five points along with three steals.
Mullen has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season. As for Crawford, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 15-8.
Mullen does not have any more games scheduled as of now. Crawford's road trip will continue as they head out to face Hyannis at 7:00 p.m. on February 15th. Hopefully Crawford focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 25 on Tuesday.
