The Eagles got off to a tough start, facing two of the top teams in the GTA. In their opener, the Eagles dropped a 67-39 decision to Notre Dame of Ajax, currently the top ranked GTA club. Kaitlyn Schenck had 17 points in the loss.
The tournament format saw first round winners play first round losers, so the Eagles' second round opponent was Sir Edmund Campion SS out of Brampton; Campion was victorious in that matchup 44-25, though Schenck did have another double digit effort with 11.
The two losses placed St. Mary's in the consolation bracket on Saturday morning, where they promptly dispatched of Pickering's Dunbarton High School by a 40-23 score. Schenck had 18 for the Eagles, while Dunbarton received 11 points from Chanel Ramcharan.
In the consolation semifinals, the Eagles dispatched of Scarborough's Pope John Paul CSS 53-36, backed by 14 points from Emily Webber, and setting up the aforementioned matchup against Nicolas, who defeated Aurora SS 31-28 and Toronto's Senator O'Connor 49-38 to advance to the consolation championship.
Despite the one point loss in the final, it would appear that the Eagles played some tough competition which should help to prepare them for the playoffs in both the D8 and (should they advance) CWOSSA.
The Eagles are back in action this afternoon for a D8 league game at home against the St. David Celtics.
