Council Tournament 

St. Mary's had all it could handle in the first game as they escaped with a 23-22 win over CWC. The Lady Card's couldn't get the ball to  fall in the hoop. Poor shooting from the charity stripe was also a factor as we only made 1-11. CWC was able to knock down a couple of big baskets in the closing seconds to cut the lead to 23-17. Sydney Hupp and Riley Sibbelled in scoring with eight and seven points.

From the charity stripe the Cards  improved greatly shooting 8-15. This was a much better effort by the entire team.
