Ireton's Michele Montgomery (24) led the Cardinals in scoring with 11.
TC Willliams used a 14-4 run late in the second period to blow open a tight game and win going away, 63-42 in the Titan’s gym Tuesday night. The setback drops Ireton to 0-2 on the young campaign and was the opener for the host Titans.
The Cardinals, with a pair of injured players returning to the squad started well in the game’s opening period, breaking to a 14-11 advantage after one. The teams see-sawed back and forth in the second stanza, Ireton holding their final lead of the contest at 20-17. Then the Titan counterattack began and TC retired to the locker room at intermission with a comfortable 31-22 bulge.
“I saw a lot of improvement tonight, we were much better than last night.” commented head coach Derek Campbell. “They switched from a zone to a man-to-man late in the second period and that threw us off. We will fix that.”
Sophomore Michele Montgomery led the Cardinals with 11, classmate Shannon Corridon added 8. Senior Isabelle Kendall had 5 points for Ireton and senior Kelly Gallagher came off the bench to add 4, as did Danielle Hatchett. The Titans’ Angie Schedler had 17 to lead all scorers, Tykera Carter chipped in 15, and Rejoice Spivey had 8 for the winners.
Bishop Ireton heads to the Flint Hill Tip Off tournament on Friday and Saturday in Oakton. The Cardinals square off with St Anne’s Belfield at 3pm.
