MOONEY USES HUGE THIRD FRAME TO RUN AWAY FROM CLIPPERS

YOUNGSTOWN OH- It definitely took a minute for Cardinal Mooney to find a rhythm in their first game of the new season. As they welcomed in Columbiana, they saw the Clippers jump ahead 10-1 in the 1st Qtr.  The Clippers then took a 14-13 lead into halftime.  The third quarter was the difference. The Cardinals outscored Columbiana 24-2 out of the break en route to a 45-26 win.

Olivia Rouser had a big hand in the Mooney victory. She scored a team-high 13 points.  Sammy Rotunno, Sophia Diorio, and Maria Fire all added 9 points to the scoring.

Mooney gets back to action on Wednesday as they hit the road for the first time on the season at Salem.  Columbiana has 9 days off as they’ll open their home schedule on November 28th against Lowellville.
