St. John Vianney defeats the #1 ranked team in the country, Long Island Lutheran 59-48.

For the second straight year SJV has faced the #1 team in the country, but unlike last year where they fell short to Sidwell Friends, they defeated Long Island Lutheran behind a strong second half performance on both sides of the ball.

In typical SJV fashion, they were able to create 15 turnovers in the second half, which was different from the first half where they had 15 turnovers. NC State commit Zoe Brooks scored 18 out of her game high 30 points in the second half.  The Lady Lancers opened the second half on a 9-0 run to open up a seven point lead.

LuHi was able to claw back and ended the third quarter on a 13-3 run to take a 39-36 lead into the 4th quarter. SJV once again started the quarter off by creating turnovers and went on a 5-0 run and never looked back, led by junior Julia Karpell, who scored 8 out of her 12 points in the quarter.

Brooks and Karpell shot a combined 15 for 19 from the foul line, which helped the Lady Lancers close out the game. Senior Ashley Sofikanich had two blocks in the fourth quarter and senior Janie Bachmann grabbed two of her six rebounds to help secure the win.

The biggest danger came in the first quarter when LuHi went on a 10-0 run to take a 15-11 lead. Uncharacteristically the Lady Lancers had 15 turnovers in the first half and only had one rebound in the first quarter, which helped LuHi get out in front.
