SOL National Conference
COUNCIL ROCK NORTH 46, PENNSBURY 28
The Indians clinched a share of the conference title with Tuesday’s win over the Falcons. A win in their final game next Tuesday against Truman will give Rock North sole possession of its first title since 2011.
“The girls are focused on winning a championship,” coach Lou Palkovics said.
Sparked by six points from both Becca Margolis and Dana Bandurick, the Indians opened up a 16-8 lead after one quarter and took a 29-12 lead into halftime. Margolis scored eight of her team-high 14 points in the half.
The Falcons buried three 3-pointers in the third quarter and outscored their visitors 13-9, but they never could put a dent in the Indians’ lead.
In addition to scoring 14 points, Bandurick had four steals and four blocked shots, including two early in the game that set the tone. Point guard Becca Margolis added 13 points and four steals.
“Dana Bandurick and Becca Margolis had great games,” Palkovics said. “Although Dana had 14 points, I was more impressed with her defense – having four blocks and four steals.”
Camryn Polinsky also had four steals. Emily Mackin and Mackenzie Tinner each had six points.
For the Falcons, Sydney Buell led the way with eight points, which included a pair of 3-pointers. Meredith Webber added seven, an Mary Miller had six in a contest that saw the teams take just seven foul shots combined.
Council Rock North (14-6, 10-1 SOL) will host Harry S Truman in its regular season finale next Tuesday. Pennsbury (7-11, 2-8) will be on the road at Truman on Thursday.

NESHAMINY 58, HARRY S TRUMAN 49
Brooke Mullin was red hot from the floor, leading all scorers with 28 points in the Redskins’ win.
The Redskins, who trailed 14-12 after one quarter, outscored the Tigers 18-7 in the second quarter to go into halftime with a 30-21 lead. Mullin led the ‘Skins in the half with 12 points – eight in the pivotal second quarter. Kristin Curley had five points in the frame.
“One night after a complete team effort on defense, we came out very flat defensively tonight,” Neshaminy coach Joe Lally said.

SOL Continental Conference
SOUDERTON 43, CENTRAL BUCKS WEST 38
Every year, it seems, the Indians give the Bucks a run for their money when they come into Souderton's gym. In truth, it would be hard to blame West coach Terry Rakowsky if he isn’t particularly fond of playing at Souderton.
Although his teams won on the Indians’ home court in each of the past two years, the Bucks had not won in Rakowsky’s previous five trips to Souderton.
“I don’t know how to explain it,” Souderton coach Lynn Carroll said. “There are teams, for whatever reason, that we seem to match up well against and teams that, for whatever reason, we do not.”
In Tuesday’s win, Carroll’s team used stout defending and some clutch fourth-quarter scoring by Kate Connolly to pick up a big late-season win over the Bucks. Alana Cardona led Souderton with 16 points, scoring the team's first six and 10 of its first 17.
“Alana had a big first half, especially the first quarter,” Carroll said. “She was being really aggressive on the offensive end.”
It wasn't a high-scoring game, as expected with two solid defensive units. West took an early 8-6 lead after two 3-pointers by Maddie Burke, but Souderton took a 10-8 lead into the second quarter on two late buckets by Megan Bealer and Tori Dowd.
The Indians led 19-12 at the half, with turnovers and missed shots costing both teams a chance to either extend the lead or cut into it.
After the break, Connolly and West sophomore Tori Abelson, both quiet in the first half, shouldered the load for their respective teams. Connolly scored 12 of her 14 in the second half, while Abelson poured in 13 of her 16 after halftime.
Souderton celebrated its lone senior, Cara Romaniello, prior to the game, and she knocked in the team's first points of the second half on a baseline jumper to kick off a 7-0 Indians run. CB West came back with a 7-0 spurt of its own, cutting the score to 26-21 before Connolly buried her second 3-pointer of the period for an eight-point lead.
The Indians led 31-23 after three, but saw their lead cut in half quickly after an Abelson steal and layup, followed by an Izzy Treon steal leading to a Burke basket. Connolly halted that with a foul line jumper, then after a second-chance hoop by Abelson made it a 34-33 game, Connolly made the shot of the game.
She drove right into the thick of West's defense, absorbed contact and finished, hitting the foul shot to complete the three-point play with three minutes and some change left.
“Kate played great in the second half,” Carroll said.
Souderton missed enough foul shots to keep it interesting late, and an Abelson putback cut the lead to 41-38 with 14 seconds left before Souderton's Megan Walbrandt sank a pair at the line to secure the victory.
"We knew they could shoot it, they're a really good shooting team overall," Connolly said. "We just wanted to make the shot hard on them. It was basically staying close on defense and making sure they didn't get an easy shot.
"(This) gives us a (boost), it shows us we're good and we have a little more confidence. That's a really good team and I think we need to keep up the intensity now."
Carroll pointed to the return of point guard Tori Dowd – who was sidelined with an injury in Friday’s loss to North Penn – as significant.
“It was good to be back at full strength,” the Indians’ coach said. “One of the things that Tori provides is a sense of calm on the offensive end.
“With a team like CB West that’s full court and really pressing hard and double teaming over half court, Tori is so good at recognizing it and handling it.
“They cut it to four in the fourth quarter. We didn’t make enough foul shots, but we made enough plays and got enough stops at the end to win. We missed five foul shots down the stretch and kept giving them chances to stay in it at the end, but they were missing some shots, and we were getting the defensive rebounds.”
Burke joined Abelson in double figures with 10 points while Maggie Rakowsky added six.
“Tori Abelson played really, really well for them,” Carroll said. “She really stepped up. She had 13 points in the second half and was very aggressive offensively.
“Defensively, our help defense was good. We got out on the perimeter as well as you can against a team like West. They only had three threes. Everybody that got minutes gave us big minutes. It’s a really nice win.”
West entered Tuesday’s game sharing the top spot in the conference standings with North Penn, but the Bucks’ loss combined with North Penn’s win gives North Penn sole possession of first place in the conference standings.
Souderton – as a result of its win – is a half game behind West in the standings. Both teams have three conference losses. West was ranked third in this week’s District One 6A power rankings while the Indians were ninth.
“Losing Friday (to North Penn) put a little more pressure on us to win tonight,” Carroll said. “This is a really significant win coming down to the end of the regular season. You’re worried about the game that’s in front of you, but it’s hard not to worry about playoff implications, the power rankings and all that stuff. We have a couple more tough ones. It’s certainly not over.”
Souderton (15-4, 7-3 SOL) will travel to William Tennent on Thursday, and Central Bucks West (15-4, 8-3) will host Imhotep in a non-league game Saturday.

NORTH PENN 51, CENTRAL BUCKS SOUTH 50 (OT)
While area basketball fans would undoubtedly enjoy a steady diet of North Penn-CB South contests, Maggie deMarteleire is not in that number.
“I would be done,” the Knights’ coach said. “I would be done.”
The games between the two conference powers are certainly not for the faint of heart. Last year, the Titans dealt the then top-seeded Knights a crushing blow in the district quarterfinals when Jordan Vitelli hit a three-quarter court shot at the end of regulation, and the Titans pulled off the upset in OT.
Earlier this season, the Titans defeated the Knights on their home court. In Tuesday’s rematch, the Knights simply refused to lose.
“This is a huge, huge game,” senior captain Irisa Ye said. “First of all, we lost to them on our home court, so we wanted our well-deserved win.
“They have a lot of good wins under their belt, and we’re number one (in the latest District One 6A power rankings), so we have to keep the wins going.”
Jess Huber – who has been on an offensive tear in recent weeks – buried the game’s biggest shot to send the game to overtime. With her team trailing 43-40 and the final seconds ticking off the clock, the senior captain, who is the very definition of a clutch player, knew the final shot would be hers out of a North Penn timeout.
“I didn’t really feel any pressure, honestly,” Huber said. “I knew it was coming to me, and Irisa set me up great.
“I was wide open. I practice those shots all the time, and it paid off.”
Ye – who was to penetrate and kick the ball out to Huber – was met by a pair of Titan defenders as she approached the circle. Huber stepped back and found herself wide open. Ye flipped the ball back to her teammate, and Huber hit nothing but net on a buzzer beater to tie the game 43-43.
“I just threw it at her, and she just shot it,” Ye said. “I knew it was going to go in. She’s clutch like that.”
The Titans twice took a two-point lead in OT, first on Haley Meinel’s shot on the South’s opening possession. Ye connected on one-of-two at the other end, but after a Titans’ turnover, Huber buried her fourth three of the night to put the Knights on top 47-45. Alexa Brodie – after Ye picked up her fifth foul – buried a pair at the foul line, and after a Knight turnover, Brodie sank two more foul shots to put the Titans on top 49-47 with 1:20 remaining.
A big bucket by Knight freshman Carley Adams knotted the score, and after the Titans came up empty on a pair of foul shots, Huber sank a pair with 17 seconds remaining. South had a chance to knot the score with three seconds remaining but made just one-of-two.
“Just gutsy, really gutsy,” deMarteleire said of her team’s performance. “For Sam (Carangi) to foul out and Jess to hit that big shot.
“For Irisa to foul out and Carley Adams comes in and hits that putback. Jenny Hulmes made some big plays. Everybody contributed. I’m just really, really proud of everybody.”
The Titans opened the game with a lot of energy and led 14-9 after one quarter. The Knights – behind five points from Bri Hewlett and four from Ye – came back to outscore their hosts 14-5 in the second quarter to go into halftime with a 23-19 lead. Ye accounted for 10 of her team’s first-half points. She also had five rebounds.
“I like to set the tone on defense and in the flow of the offense,” said Ye, who finished with 17 points and also spent the night defending Brodie. “Once we get the lead, I like to give my teammates the ball because it’s just more satisfying.”
“In the beginning of the game, if I look for my shot and I’m hitting them, that helps our team in general. It opens up the court.”
Junior Haley Meinel – who led all scorers with 24 points – was all but unstoppable in the second half, scoring on a variety of cuts and drives to the basket.
“I thought we did a really good job on Alexa (Brodie), but Haley Meinel killed us,” deMarteleire said.
Meinel’s nine third-quarter points allowed the Titans to knot the score 31-31, but a Huber three sent the Knights into the final quarter with a three-point lead. A Lexi Edwards three to open the fourth quarter knotted the score.
With less than a minute remaining, the Titans took a 40-39 lead when Brodie found Meinel for a nifty basket on an inbounds, and after a Knight miss, the Titans had a chance to add to their lead but came up short on the front end of a one-and-one after a foul that sent North Penn point guard Sam Carangi to the bench with five fouls.
A Knights’ traveling violation gave the ball back to the Titans, and Brodie sank both ends of a one-and-one to give the Titans a 43-40 lead with 11.9 seconds remaining, which was still plenty of time for the Knights and Huber to extend the game.
“A lot of credit to our bench players who were ready to come off the bench and were ready to play – like our freshman, Carley (Adams), taking my spot to guard Brodie,” Ye said. “I was just proud of them.”
Huber led the Knights with 19 points while Ye added 17 and Hewlett, 10 points.
In addition to Meinel’s 24 points. Brodie added 13 and Edwards had eight for the Titans.
“I told them – a couple of years ago, I don’t know if our team would have been able to be gutsy like that and keep coming back when we’re down against the top team in the district,” coach Beth Mattern said. “I look at how far we’ve come as a program, and that’s a credit to the players and what they’ve brought to the table.
“There’s one week left in the regular season, and we’re going to come into practice tomorrow and we’re going to work hard. We played really hard tonight. We’re playing CB East on Friday, a team that took it to us.”
North Penn (17-2, 8-2 SOL) will host Pennridge on Thursday, and Central Bucks South (16-4, 6-4) will travel to Central Bucks East on Friday.

WILLIAM TENNENT 46, PENNRIDGE 40
The Panthers suffered a 14-point loss at the hands of the Rams in the initial meeting between the two schools. On Tuesday night, they turned the tables. The two teams were tied 13-13 after one quarter, and the Panthers had a 21-18 halftime lead. They outscored their hosts 11-4 in the third quarter to go on top 32-22. The Rams won the fourth quarter 18-14 but couldn’t erase the double-digit deficit.
Rose McCormick led the Rams with 14 points, and Samantha Muredda added eight. Brooke Bachtle had seven points.

SOL American Conference
PLYMOUTH WHITEMARSH 44, CHELTENHAM 30
The Colonials clinched at least a share of their first conference title in two decades, but according to coach Daniel Dougherty, no one was celebrating.
“We didn’t even talk about it in the locker room,” the PW coach said. “We weren’t feeling very good after tonight’s game.
“It’s something we’re targeting for Friday night (at Quakertown). If we win Friday night, that guarantees us an outright league win.”
The Colonials trailed the visiting Panthers 5-4 after one quarter – a far cry from the Jan. 6 meeting between the two teams that saw PW race to a 26-8 lead after one quarter on its way to a 58-24 win.
“It was not our best game tonight,” Dougherty said. “We came out sluggish, and Cheltenham came out very fired up to try and get the win.
“It was a super sloppy first quarter – so many turnovers and missed layups.”
The Colonials regrouped to win the second quarter 14-10 but led by just an 18-15 score at the intermission.
“Both teams had to deal with their best player in foul trouble,” Dougherty said. “(Taylor) O’Brien got in foul trouble for us early on, and then Mia Leonard picked up her third foul in the second quarter, so she had to sit.”
The Colonials put the game out of reach with an 18-7 third quarter to go on top 38-22.
“We were able to get some turnovers and push the ball in the open floor and kind of speed them up offensively, and that was really the difference in the game,” said Dougherty, whose team outscored its visitors 32-17 in the second and third quarters. “It was a good win.
“We have a lot to learn from tonight. We’re really trying to get focused for Friday and get the win and get the outright league win. Looking back and talking to (former PW coach) Jeff Hovis, it turns out that even the late 90s (titles) were split. Neither one of them was outright, so it hasn’t been since 1983 that we won the league outright, so we’re definitely looking to do that. Obviously, the undefeated season is hanging over our heads too, and tonight was a huge hurdle to try and get past.”
Despite being hampered with fouls, O’Brien led all scorers with 14 points. Lauren Fortescue added 13, Lauren Coscia had nine, and Ali Diamond contributed eight.
“Lauren Fortescue was outstanding tonight,” Dougherty said. “She really, really made some special plays when Taylor had to go out with her second foul.
“I know she had at least five assists tonight, Ali Diamond knocked down some very timely threes in the second and third quarters to extend the lead. Laurel Suchsland did her normal tremendous job of defending Mia Leonard. In the second half, Laurel went down with a twisted ankle, and Victoria Betterly came in and did a solid job on Leonard when she was in. Leonard had to sit again in the second half for foul trouble.”
For the Panthers, Courtney Murray led the way with seven points, and Caitlin Wallace had six.
“I have to give a lot of credit to Brendan (Nolan),” Dougherty said of Cheltenham’s head coach. “He really had his kids very well prepared for tonight.
“The first time we played them we jumped on them early, and they flipped that around tonight and were winning 5-4 after the first quarter, so that’s a big turnaround. I thought his kids really came out and defended very well.
“Danielle Brown really did a nice job on defense for them, and Mia Leonard really did a nice job defensively.”
Plymouth Whitemarsh (18-0, 12-0 SOL) will be on the road at Quakertown on Friday, and Cheltenham (11-9, 7-5) will host Hatboro-Horsham on Thursday.

QUAKERTOWN 52, SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP 37
Marina Cooke had a big night, scoring a game-high 22 points, but it took a strong second-half performance by the Panthers – who found themselves tied 8-8 after one quarter and 20-20 at halftime – to come away with the win. The Panthers outscored their hosts 20-10 in the third quarter and clinched the win at the foul line in the fourth quarter.
“It was a great overall team effort for the win,” coach Brittany Remmey said. “It was a tough first half.
“Springfield did a nice job of getting us flustered at points, but I was really proud of the way the girls came together today.”
Cooke hit some key foul shots in the fourth quarter and also added eight rebounds. Maggie Garlick added 14 points, five steals and five rebounds.
“She only had two assists but had some really beautiful leading passes to her teammates,” Remmey said.
Jill Martin was a force in the paint, finishing with an unorthodox double-double that included 13 rebounds and 12 blocked shots. She also had seven points.
Sam Howard didn’t score but was a factor on defense with four steals and three deflections.
“She really starts the defense for us at the top of the key with her pressure,” Remmey said. “Roni Best also had a couple of really important rebounds and rotations on defense.”
Grace Barraclough (13 points) and Rileigh Serroni (11 points) led the Spartans. Brielle Pratt added seven points.

WISSAHICKON 36, UPPER MORELAND 25
The visiting Trojans brought a welcome end to a seven-game losing streak, limiting the Golden Bears to just nine points in the second half to take control of the game.
“I was pleased with how disciplined we played on defense,” said Wissahickon coach Rodney Cline, whose team led 19-16 at halftime. “We played smart – we moved our feet, we didn’t reach.
“Our bigs really boxed out well tonight. We made good decisions. We controlled the ball, we controlled the tempo – pushed it when we needed to, slowed it down when we needed to. They just played smart today. They played with a little bit of discipline, which is what we’re trying to teach.
“Everything is between their ears right now. You have to know how to win ball games, you have to make adjustments when need be. You have to adapt to the situation and play with basketball IQ, and that’s what they’re learning. I’m proud that we got off the losing streak, and we’re going to try to finish off these last two games.”
Julianne Griffin led the Trojans with 14 points while teammate Brianna Tilghman had nine.
Noelle Woodman (nine points) and Caitlin Corr (eight points) led the Golden Bears.

The Flying Cardinals – in a dominating performance – led 20-3 after one quarter and took a 30-9 lead into halftime. They allowed just three points in the second half.
