They maintained their energy in the second quarter, but offensive struggles began to show as they managed only five points while Central Baptist gained momentum with nine.

The second half was a different story. The Lady Bisons had difficulty maintaining offensive rhythm, scoring just nine points in the final two quarters combined. Meanwhile, Central Baptist took control, outscoring St. Mary’s 29-9 in the second half, including a dominant 18-point fourth quarter that sealed the game.

Key performances:

Yaindhi Garcia led the team with 10 points and five rebounds, providing a steady presence on both ends of the floor.

Zarielle Ormsby contributed seven points and fought hard on the boards but struggled with shot consistency.

Laurieliz Saquicella and Isabella Centinello-Perez each added two points, with Laurieliz making a solid defensive impact.

The Lady Bisons fought hard early but struggled to maintain intensity down the stretch, highlighting the need to work on endurance, shot selection, and defensive consistency to finish games stronger. They will build on this to face the weekend in the New Jersey ESDAA tournament! 💙💛🏀
