Madison didn’t get off to a great start in Saturday’s game at Perry, but the Blue Devils finished strong in claiming a 35-26 victory.
With the win, the Blue Streaks improved to 15-2 overall and 8-2 in the Lake Division.
“This team plays hard every game,” said Madison coach Heather Reho. “We struggled a little bit on the offensive side tonight, but after we started to move the ball and move without the ball we seemed to jive a bit more. We were able to get into the paint for a good shot.”
Zoey Deligianis led the Blue Streaks with 19 points, but her work on the defensive end might have been even more valuable as she limited Perry standout Victoria Lynch to just three points in the game.
“Zoey did a great job defending her,” Reho said. “She held her to only three points. Our defense was tough tonight, and everyone did their job.”
The Blue Streaks also pulled down 27 rebounds with Deligianis and Kendra Smith both pulling down a team-high seven.
Deligianis also recorded three steals.
Smith contributed to the win with eight points and an assist, Sydney Sorber recorded six points, six rebounds, one assist, and one block, Alyssa Snider finished with two points, three rebounds, and two blocked shots, and Kaylee Lamarco pulled down four boards.
“I am so proud of this team and how they never give up,” Reho said. “This season thus far has been memorable, gritty, and it isn’t over just yet. We still have five games left in the regular season and looking to make a run in the postseason.”
