Round Two went to the Marin Catholic High girls basketball team, which slugged out a 45-41 victory over host San Marin on Tuesday night.
The Wildcats also won Round One and continue to be the only MCAL team without a league loss. Their latest win was huge because it was on the road against the second-best team in MCAL and bodes well for possible rematches in the league playoff finals and maybe even an NCS showdown.
“It prepares us a ton,” said Marin Catholic coach Ashley Saia. “There’s a good chance we’ll see them again. It’s good to have a hard-fought game on the road whether that prepares us for MCALs on the road and hopefully further than that.”
Marin Catholic (16-5, 11-0 MCAL) won the NCS Division IV title last season and is in line for a top seed this year when the Wildcats move up to Division III. San Marin reached the D-III semifinals a year ago, meaning an NCS date between the MCAL rivals is quite possible.
“When you’re trying to win a championship there’s no such thing as moral victories,” said San Marin coach Tony Butler. “They’ll probably end up being the top seed in NCS so you feel really good taking them to the wire.”
The Mustangs (17-5, 10-2) lost to MC 46-27 back on Jan. 3 before reeling off wins in their next seven games.
San Marin did boast the highest scorer of the night thanks to 16 points from 5-foot-6 guard/forward Lailah Carey. The senior added six rebounds and four assists.
“I’m really happy for her,” Butler said of Carey. “She’s showing she can play at the next level. We’re really proud of her. She’s developed so much.”
Marin Catholic was led by Gracyn Lovette’s 11 points. Cecily Hadd and Maddie Dayton chipped in nine points apiece, with Izzy McFadden adding eight.
Kate O’Hara had 10 points and five rebounds for the Mustangs. Julie Martinez had seven points.
The Wildcats built a 41-30 cushion with 2:41 left to play on a basket by Hadd before the Mustangs stormed back thanks to their trademark full-court press. Martinez ended the Wildcats’ 9-2 run with a field goal and Carey converted a pair of free throws to pull the Mustangs to within 41-34 with just under two minutes to play.
Dayton drilled a three-pointer to push the Wildcats’ lead to 44-34 before San Marin’s Keeley Wright answered with a three-pointer of her own. It was Wright’s first points of the night and she scored again with four seconds left to finish with five points.
“They do a good job of making things difficult,” said Butler.
Saia was particularly pleased with the performances of juniors Dayton and Hadd, especially since Lovette, a 5-11 senior, missed considerable time on the bench after picking up her fourth foul with 2:30 left in the third quarter. Sophomore Angelique Addae’s ball handling helped the Wildcats deal with San Marin’s tenacious defense.
“Maddie and Cecily knocked down some big-time shots for us and gave us the consistency that we needed,” said Saia. “They were a constant for us tonight.”
San Marin got key minutes from O’Hara, who came off the bench to supply needed power in the paint.
“She was really good tonight,” Butler said of O’Hara. “Her energy was really good tonight. She does a lot for us.”
