Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Archbishop Spalding and the Saints will face off at 5:30 p.m. on February 2nd without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Hopefully St. Mary's focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 18 last Saturday. Mercy is on the road again on Monday and plays the Eagles at 5:30 p.m. on February 5th. McDonogh is coming into the game hot, having won their last five games.
