Girls Basketball

The MCA girls basketball team hosted a tough team from Nashua Christian Academy at the Milford Middle School. NCA is a physical team and it took a few quarters for the Lions to get their offense going. The Lions defense was strong and they kept NCA to only 20 points for the whole game. Becca Peterson and Michaela Reichl pulled in several defensive rebounds and everyone played a tight zone. Kirsten Weber got the scoring going with a foul shot in the first quarter and finished with three points. She was followed in the scoring by Becca Peterson with 3, Michaela Reichl and Jinnea Herbert each with 2 points. The Lions lost a tough battle 10-20. The girls have practice on Monday and then its off to the Kingdom Covenant Tournament down on the Cape Thursday and Friday.

The MCA girls basketball team traveled to Manchester and battled with a very tough Saint Maries team. The Lions defense was top notch tonight and the girls really frustrated the Ste. Maries girls. Unfortunately, Saint Maries got all the scoring breaks, while the MCA girls threw up more shots, but just couldn't get them to fall through the hoop. The final score was Saint Maries on top 0-17. The Lions all played a great game on defense, especially Kaitlyn Hartling, Michaela Reichl, and Rachel Bourgeois. The girls next game will be Thursday, against Saint Maries, this time at the Milford Middle School. Game time is 3:15!
