The Marie Philip Galloping Ghosts had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 26.5 points), and they went ahead and made it three on Monday. They had just enough and edged Newman out 20-17. That's another feather in the cap for Marie Philip, who also won these teams' last head-to-head.
Among those leading the charge was Anya Sukhovtsev, who scored 13 points along with four steals. She is trending in the right direction, as she's improved her point production for three games straight.
Marie Philip's victory bumped their record up to 16-6.
Marie Philip will head out on the road to take on Non Varsity Opponent at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Non Varsity Opponent is coming into the contest with six straight losses at home, meaning Marie Philip will have to defend against a team hungry for a win. Newman does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
