What began as an intriguing match-up between the upstate and downstate powerhouse
girls basketball teams quickly became a laugher. The Spartans (13-1), playing at home but
outsized, utilized their relentless defense to wipe out the previously unbeaten Riders
77-23.
St Marks was led offensively by Lisa Krzywicki and Erin Calloway who each scored 16
points. Krzywicki racked up 10 first quarter points. She said, "We
didn't really
know anything about them other than they were bigger than us." But the Riders size
never was a factor. Cherise Franklin was the Riders leading scorer with 11 points but only
managed 4 in the first half. A series of traps and full court presses caused numerous
Rider turnovers which the talented Spartans were able to capitalize offensively with. The
other Spartan captain, point guard Michelle Albanese was a thorn in seemingly every side
of the Riders offensive plays. The emotional leader only scored 4 points in this game, but
her point play helped enable her number one ranked team pour on the offense. Tracee Mosch
added 13 first half points; Freshman Christine Armstrong scored 11 and Lindsay Hegeman
poured in 12 for St Marks.
