While Thursday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Maiara Rodriguez. On Thursday she was dialed in and almost dropped a double-double on nine points and 13 steals. She played a big game the last time she faced Civic Leadership/AAE, so the team probably should've seen her coming.
Rodriguez and Academy of Science and Innovation won't have much time to rest: their next match is against Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy at 6:00 p.m. on February 9th. Academy of Science and Innovation got just the result they wanted when they last faced Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy, probably because Rodriguez had a solid game then too: she scored 18 points along with eight steals and six rebounds. Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more basketball content.
