“Get revenge,” said freshman Archbishop Carroll guard Kayla Eberz.
A year ago, Eberz sat in the stands of the Palestra and watched her sister Alexis Eberz and the Carroll team suffer a tough loss in the double-overtime stunner 2024 PCL Championship game against Archbishop Wood.
Monday night, with Eberz now joining her older sister on the court, it was Carroll who came out on top in a 57-45 victory over Archbishop Wood in the 2025 PCL Semifinals at Villanova’s Finneran Pavilion.
This punched the Patriots a ticket to yet another Catholic League final. However, they do not want a repeat of last year. They know that full “revenge” cannot come until they walk out of the historic Palestra crowned as champions.
“Our goal is to win at the Palestra,” said Eberz. “Watching last year’s game, seeing how it ended. We want to win this and get it back.”
