Irish are 3-0!

 
The Fighting Irish Sr. Girls team coached by Pat Lepore and Rahat Altaf posted wins in their first three Lambton County games in the past two weeks defeating SCITS, LCCVI and St. Chris.

The Irish got off to a slow start against the SCITS Blue Bombers but pulled away to post a 28-8 lead by the half and finishing up with a 49-20 margin.  Leading the Irish offence were Maggie Mullen with 17 and Whitney Ryan with 12.  Chelsea Wagner and Conchita each hit for 5.  Mullen was also hot on the boards pulling down 7 followed closely by Devin Galvin with 6.

It was pretty much the same story the following week when the Irish defeated LCCVI by a decisive 51-19 score.  Mullen and Ryan led the scoring with 14 and 9 respectively followed by Taylor Hennessey with 7.  Galvin led the defence with 8 rebounds and 5 steals.

Despite a very short bench due to injuries, the St. Chris Cyclones gave the Irish all they could handle on Sept. 20 on their home court.  The Irish held a 2 point lead at the end of the first quarter but that flipped to the Cyclones favour 17-15 by the half.  It was still a 2 point game at the end of three, but the Irish went on a 15-5 run in the fourth to nail down the win 37-29.  Conchita Humphries had the hot hand for the Irish posting 13 points including a 3-pointer right at the buzzer.  Ryan and Galvin added 6 each.  Galvin and Humphries also gave strong defensive performances pulling down 11 and 8 rebounds respectively. 

The Irish are idle this Tuesday but play host to the Northern Vikings on Thursday, September 27 at 5:30 PM.
