Basketball Game Preview: Susquehannock Warriors vs. South Western Mustangs

The Susquehannock Warriors will venture away from home to take on the South Western Mustangs at 6:45 p.m. on Monday. Susquehannock will be looking to extend their current four-game winning streak.

While Susquehannock didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-13), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They walked away with a 45-33 win over Northeastern on Friday. Given the Warriors' advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 172nd, while the Bobcats are ranked 456th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Elena Snyder was her usual excellent self, going 5 for 10 on her way to 17 points in addition to six assists and five boards. The game was her fourth in a row with at least ten points. The team also got some help courtesy of Johannah Bissett, who posted four points and six rebounds.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask South Western). They secured a 58-53 W over Spring-Ford last Friday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Mustangs.

Susquehannock has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 7-3 record this season. As for South Western, their record is now 3-0-1.

Susquehannock won a contest that couldn't have been any closer in their previous meeting back in January of 2024, slipping by South Western 48-47. The rematch might be a little tougher for Susquehannock since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
