Mt. Vernon beats Lebanon 51-36 in the semifinal game today to advance to tonight's regional final. MV and Lebanon were tied 24-24 after a close first half, but the Marauders got six quick points from Makenzi Reasor and clamped down their defense in the second half. MV started the second half on a 12-0 run and held Lebanon without a field goal for the first 11 minutes of the second half.
Typical balanced effort for MV: Rachel Houck scored 11 points, Reasor had 10, Jessica Brown had nine including a big 3 right at the end of the third quarter, Anna Olson had eight, plus a zillion rebounds and deflections, Kayla Negley scored seven plus added some phenomenal defense.
Lexi Reese had 11 first-half points for Lebanon. MV held the Tigers' top two scorers -- Harvard-bound Alison Curtis and younger sister Katie Curtis -- in single digits, and with two total field goals between them. They had been averaging 29 ppg coming into the game.
MV will play Roncalli (18-5) in tonight's regional championship game at 7:40 p.m. Roncalli won today's afternoon game 59-38 over Madison, leading from wire-to-wire. Sophomore guard Bridget Perry scored 22 points for Roncalli to lead all scorers. It should be a close, interesting matchup between two strong teams with big inside presence. Join Andrew & Chris at 7:40 p.m. for the play-by-play.
