On the junior D8 side, the Resurrection Phoenix are certainly hoping that the old adage, "defense wins championships" rings true.For the third consecutive game (which I believe is a D8 record), the Phoenix held their opposition under 10 total points scored in the game as they bested Kitchener St. Mary's by a 40-9 score.
Their previous two games were 54-5 (PRDG) and 56-9 (Rockway).
I say that I believe it's a D8 record as I can come up with several occurrences where a team held their opponents under 10 points for 2 consecutive games (St. David, in fact, did this last year), but can't think of a team with 3 straight.
Jama Bin-Edward and Patricia Enrique netted 8 points each in the win.
If you were thinking that Rez might be able to get 4 games in a row, that probably won't happen as next up for the Phoenix is a date with the St. David Celtics, one of the top three teams in the league.
Here's the other D8 scores from Wednesday:
Monsignor Doyle 28, Rockway 24
The Mustangs pick up their first win of the year by edging Rockway. Emily Van Allen (12) and Victoria Barroso (11) led the way for MDCSS; Alex Johnson netted 8 and Katarina Klassen 7 for the Flames.
St. Benedict 41, Woodland 25
Afifa Salaad poured in a D8-season high 32 points, while Maddy Bodanis-Medley added 8 of the other 9 Saint points on the evening as SBCSS stayed unbeaten. Julia DeWeerd and Becca Sanchez had 6 each for Woodland.
St. David 38, PRDG 8
Megan Dalley had 8 and Megan Goar 7 for the Celtics in this one, while Marina Robin topped PRDG with 4.
