D8 Monday: Senior Phoenix Alone In First After Win

D8 Senior
The Resurrection Phoenix are alone in first place in the D8 senior standings after a 39-20 win over St. David on Monday, a game that was a battle between two 4-0 teams.

The Phoenix got 18 points from Sarah Schulz and 9 from Celia McGlynn, though their work on the defensive side of the ball was more impressive as they held the Celts to less than half of their seasonal PPG average (45.5 PPG) --- most of which came with the game already decided, as the Phoenix led 24-1 at halftime. 

Elizabeth Scanlon (5) and Bobbi-Sue Hentges (4) led the Celtics.

In other action on Monday:

St. Mary's 41, Woodland 27
My Pick:  SMHS by 24
The Eagles continued to remain in the top tier of the standings with a road win at Woodland.  Beth Zebib (14) and Angela Mercurio (11) led the way on Monday, while Emma Roorda (11) and Kirstin Hofstee (9) paced WCHS.

St. Benedict 51, Rockway 19
My Pick:  SBCSS by 26
Dana Milani poured in 24 points and Kayla Leusink equalled Rockway's output herself with a 19-point effort as the Saints rolled over the Flames.  Lindsay Mustard was tops for Rockway with 6.

Well, the streak of holding opponents to under 10 points comes to an end, but it was still another big win for the Phoenix on Monday.  Meghan Sharp (17) and Krissia Vasquez (16) had impressive offensive performances for Rez; Megan Goar and Ciarra Dunne had 8 each for the Celts.
