After a 45-36 nonconference win at Nordonia on Saturday, Madison’s girls’ basketball team heads into the New Year undefeated with a 9-0 record.
“It was a great overall team effort,” said Madison coach Heather Reho. “The coaching staff is proud of these girls.”
The Blue Devils made a few adjustments at halftime and played a much better second half in beating the Knights.
“At half time, we said we needed to clean up the offensive side of things,” Reho said. “In the second half, we did just that. We only had two turnovers. Defensively, everyone was able to do their job. The guards were able to get in the passing lanes and our forwards were able to stop their post game.”
Zoey Deligianis led the Blue Streaks with 22 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. She also recorded a pair of steals.
Claire Wakim also scored in double figures with 15 points and pulled down seven rebounds with two assists and a team-high five steals.
Alyssa Snider added four points, two rebounds, one assist, and two blocks, Sydney Sorber contributed with four points, two assists, one steal, and a block, and Kendra Smith pulled down four rebounds and blocked two shots.
“This is great momentum going into January,” Reho said.
The Blue Streaks will need that momentum when they take the court in January.
They’ll kick off the New Year with a nonconference game at Eastlake North on Jan. 3, and then travel to league rival Edgewood on Jan. 5 in what could be a battle of unbeaten teams to kick off CVC TV’s winter sports coverage.
