Catholic Central's Taliah Pounds played well off the bench, contributing seven points and six rebounds for the Lady Crusaders. It was too little too late as Catholic High fell behind by as many as 15 in the third quarter and could not muster enough of a fourth quarter rally to knock off Big 10 leading Schenectady on Friday night. Antonia Williams scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a 56-49 victory for the Lady Patriots (8-0, 15-1). (All photos by J.S. Carras - The Record).

CCHS' Olivia DeMarco was limited to nine points and four boards as the Patriots' 2-3 zone did not allow the Lady Crusaders to force it into the low post. Schenectady outrebounded CCHS 39-31.

Carly LaBombard (shooting, above) finished with 10 points, as did teammates Colleen Dignum and Maria Foglia. CCHS and Schenectady have played three times so far this season with Schenectady winning all three. It is still possible that the teams may meet again in the Section II Class AA tournament.
