Game One: Conestoga vs. Great Valley
Stifling would be a good word to sum this one up.
The Pioneers turned in an outstanding team defensive effort to stifle the Patriots in a 47-11 decision to kick things off Sunday morning. Conestoga switched, rotated, rebounded and limited Great Valley to just two points in each of the first three quarters.
Isabella Valencia defended well inside, while Marisa Francione and Ryann Jennings were all over the perimeter keeping GV senior Julia Curran in check. Great Valley shot just 5-of-25 in the game, the Patriots often running through some intricate offensive sets that forced Conestoga to defend for long stretches.
