Madison closed out the regular season with a 59-45 nonconference win over visiting Chardon on Wednesday.
The Blue Streaks head into the postseason with an 18-4 record and riding a two-game winning streak.
“This was an all-around team effort,” said Madison coach Heather Reho. “This team demonstrated great ball movement, and they were able to get defensive stops. This game showed us that we are playing together as a team, communicating effectively, and executing the game plan.”
Three Blue Streaks scored in double figures.
Zoey Deligianis led the way with 28 points, six rebounds, six assists, a steal, and one block. Ella Hall scored 11 points with two rebounds, one assist, and one steal, and Sydney Sorber collected 10 points with five rebounds and one assist.
Alyssa Snider added eight points, eight rebounds, and one assist, and Kendra Smith scored two points with 10 rebounds, one assist, and one steal.
“Ball movement on the offensive side helped us have three girls in double digits,” Reho said. “Our forwards were able to rebound well, which helped us tremendously, and Zoey Deligianis held Chardon’s best player to seven points.”
Madison hosts the winner of the sectional semifinal between Riverside and Hudson in a sectional championship game on Thursday, Feb. 22.
“I am so proud of this team,” Reho said. “The bond between this team is evident in the celebratory moments we shared throughout this season. We remained resilient in the face of adversity, maintained a positive mindset, and never gave up. Next up is the postseason. We are going into it with confidence.”
