It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Gilbert had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Sunnyside Blue Devils with a sharp 57-34 win. The Tigers have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 13 contests by 20 points or more this season.
Aspen McClees continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines, dropping a double-double with 23 points and 13 rebounds. She has been hot for a while, having also posted two or more steals the last 11 times she's played. Another player making a difference was Contessa Ivy, who posted 11 points in addition to five boards and four steals.
Gilbert smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds every time they've taken the court this season.
Sunnyside's loss came despite strong showings from Dora Medina and Annabelle Quiroga. Medina had seven points along with five rebounds and three steals, while Quiroga earned 11 points and three steals. What's more, Quiroga also posted a 57% field goal percentage, which is the highest she's achieved since back in November of 2024.
Gilbert is on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.5 points over those games. Sunnyside's loss dropped their record down to 28-4.
Gilbert didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next match, a 56-54 defeat against Hamilton on the 8th. Sunnyside does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
