CANFIELD CANT OVERCOME CVCA
CANFIELD- The Canfield Cardinals hosted CVCA Monday night. It was a back and forth battle in the final quarter, but the Mighty Royals came out on top.
The first half was all CVCA, as they came out lighting it up from distance in the first quarter, knocking down 4 shots from 3 point range. CVCA also was suffocating on the defensive side, holding Canfield to just 14 points in the first half. Both teams went to the locker room at half, and the Mighty Royals owned a 25-14 lead.
In the second half, Canfield came out on a big run, and trailed by 3 at the end of the 3rd quarter. The final 8 minutes of play was a back and forth battle, and came down to the final possession. CVCA got a huge stop defensively, and laid in a fast break layup to seal the deal. CVCA was the ultimate winner, by a final of 51-46.
Gia Casalinova continues her fantastic start in 2020, leading the Mighty Royals with 19 points, and was 7/8 from the charity stripe. Canfield was led by Summer Sammarone and Marissa Ieraci, who each had 13 points.
CVCA improves to 4-1 on the year, and will travel to Hiland on Thursday. Canfield will also play on the road, as they take on the Poland Bulldogs on Thursday night. Tip-off starts at 7 P.M. on YSN.
