This past week, the Saints struggled against tough teams from Ursuline and Nerinx but were very competitive in their game with Hancock. Though often younger in age and skill and smaller in size than their opposing teams, the Saints keep fighting. In their game against Hancock, Villa showed that tenacity of spirit. The Saints put full court pressure on Hancock the entire game, and it began to pay off with turnovers which led to steals and points at the basket. Three times within the game, the Saints came within 2-3 points of tying the score, but were never able to make it over that hump. The Saints had seven players score, with Maiya Smith leading the way with 15 points.
SWIMMING AND DIVING
Villa Swim and Dive had a strong return back to competition. They split their two dual meets last week, losing to St. Joe and then defeating Ursuline to end the week.
This week the Saints will take on Ladue and Viz this afternoon, followed by Lutheran South and Principia on Friday. You can virtually root for the swimmers and divers when they take on Ladue and Viz. Today's meet will be broadcast on Team1Sports.com beginning at 4 pm. Tune in to view the broadcast.
