Senior Kyleen Armstrong had been looking to regain her shot for while in order to help No. 8-ranked Good Counsel off the bench.
And it’s needless to say that after Friday’s game against No. 3 Elizabeth Seton, she has definitely found her stroke.
Armstrong hit all four of her three-point attempts and scored 12 points off the bench as the Falcons (16-3) ran away in the second half against the Roadrunners (15-2) for a 65-49 victory which left Good Counsel atop the WCAC standings.
“It was just my night I guess,†Armstrong said. “I’ve been working hard trying to get my shot back. It’s been off lately.â€
“I was really waiting for her to have a night like that and I’m so happy for her,†said Good Counsel coach Tom Splaine. “She’s a senior and she’s been working hard for three years. She lifted the whole bench up. The whole bench got into it certainly in the third and fourth quarters.â€
After Elizabeth Seton took a one point lead early in the third quarter, the Falcons went on a 12-2 run sparked by Armstrong and Kelsey Murphy who combined for all of Good Counsel’s points in the third quarter except one bucket by Katie Sheahin. Murphy finished with nine points, all in the second half, while Sheanin battled through foul trouble to score 22 points.
“I’m not used to playing with four fouls like that but I kept my head in the game,†Sheahin said. “I pushed through it and I had my team behind me too.â€
The Roadrunners have only lost two games this season but both have been against Good Counsel who now holds the tiebreaker for first place in the WCAC.
Good Counsel must now think about their games against St. Johns and McNamara, the only two conference teams to beat the Falcons.
“It was extremely important, but every game is,†Splaine said about Friday’s game. “We have no time to rest on this one.â€
Elizabeth Seton was led by Alex Stelfox, who scored 14 points off the bench. They also got 12 points from Tyaunna Marshall and 10 points from Alexis Martin.
