It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Mater Dei Catholic had no problem doing just that on Wednesday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Fallbrook Warriors 67-38. The Crusaders have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won ten matches by 21 points or more this season.
Mater Dei Catholic's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Jordyn Worley, who posted ten points in addition to eight steals and five rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Worley a new career-high in assists (three). Another player making a difference was Catrice Chan, who earned 14 points and six steals.
Mater Dei Catholic smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 13 offensive boards in 15 consecutive contests.
Fallbrook's loss came despite strong showings from Grace Nordeen and Janice Garcia. Nordeen dropped a double-double with 12 points and 13 boards, while Garcia dropped a double-double with 12 points and ten rebounds. Nordeen is on a roll when it comes to boards, as she's now pulled down eight or more in each of the last 56 games she's played dating back to last season.
Mater Dei Catholic is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-12 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.0 points over those games. Fallbrook is on a 12-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 11-18.
Mater Dei Catholic didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next match, a 47-38 win against Scripps Ranch on the 22nd. Fallbrook does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
