There's no place like home for McDonogh, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Saturday. In a tight matchup that could have gone either way, they made off with a 56-55 win over the Poly Engineers. The Eagles have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Engineers, too.
Poly's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Brianna Pope, who dropped a double-double on 12 points and 11 boards, and London Elliot, who posted 13 points along with eight rebounds and three steals. Elliot is crushing it when it comes to steals: she's grabbed at least two every time she's taken the court this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Alexis Smothers, who scored 11 points and four steals.
McDonogh has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 13-10 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.0 points per game. As for Poly, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-8.
When McDonogh and Poly next hit the court, they'll be up against teams who recently just can't seem to lose. McDonogh will face off against St. Frances Academy and their four-game winning streak at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Similarly, Poly will try to stop City College's three-game winning streak when the meet on Thursday.
