Cadets fall to Falcons in WCAC showdown By MONICA McNUTT Current Correspondent
St. John’s traveled to Olney, Md., Saturday looking to avenge last week’s loss to Good Counsel. But eight days after the first matchup, the result was the same — a four-point loss. The Cadets fell to the Falcons 69-65 in front of a packed house at Good Counsel. Retribution now can come only in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference playoffs. But the Cadets did mark one important achievement during Saturday’s match: Junior Lindsay Allen reached the 1,000-point mark on her second 3-pointer of the game. Allen, who finished with 18 points in the loss, received a standing ovation from St. John’s faithful, waving red fliers announcing the accomplishment. “It’s fantastic; she’s had a great career,� said coach Jonathan Scribner. “She’s just been a tremendous player at St. John’s so far, and for her to get the 1,000-point [tally] is obviously a great milestone for her, and hopefully it will continue.“ Allen’s feat was one of the few bright spots for the visiting Cadets. The Cadets’ largest lead of 14 points came with 3 minutes, 18 seconds to go in the third quarter. But St. John’s was plagued by turnovers, fouls and empty possessions, and the Cadets’ lead was cut to five by the beginning of the fourth quarter. “They played an excellent game; they got back in the game. I thought we did pretty good defensively — we just started rushing a little bit on offense and shots didn’t go our way,� said senior Mooriah Rowser, who finished with nine points. The Falcons hit a 3-pointer to take the lead with three minutes remaining. Rowser’s layup tied the game at 62, but the Falcons responded, scoring the next five points, while the Cadets struggled to connect. With time running out and an offense gone cold, the Cadets suffered their second consecutive loss at the hands of the Falcons. “I just counted on the stats [that] we missed 21

layups. We had two clean layups to take leads late and a clean three to tie. We had our opportunities and they didn’t drop,â€? Scribner said. With the loss, the Cadets fall to 8-3 in WCAC play, good enough for fourth place, and 15-6 overall. They were scheduled to host Bishop Ireton last night. Although disappointed with the loss, Scribner is still looking forward. “I like where we’re at right now,â€? he said. “It hurts a lot to lose, but it would hurt a lot more to lose if this was Feb. 28, so we still have our eye on the prize. We still have everything that we set out to do this season ‌ still in front of us, not behind us.â€?
petitors also won their individual events. Sidwell’s Olivia Grinker took the 1-meter dive, and National Cathedral’s Nicole Orme won the 100-yard backstroke to grab 16 points for the Eagles. Visitation and Sidwell finished
in the top five, with the Cubs in fourth place and the Quakers in fifth. The two schools will hit the water again Friday and Saturday as they compete at the Washington Metropolitan Prep School Swim and Dive League championships.
