Sophomore Fallon Fiore was a persistent force at the front of the press and others, including Keenan, seniors Tea Fiore and Kaci Pace, and sophomores Elena Kearns, Aaliyah Rodriguez and Adriana Brown, and freshman Scarlett Schlomann, all had their moments of wreaking havoc in leading the Chiefs defense which helped induce countless Madison turnovers.

“Our defense is where it has to start for us,” said Addy Keenan. “Sure, it’s great to score, but when we pressure teams and speed things up out there are usually good things that happen for us.”

Kearns contributed 12 points and Tea Fiore, playing her final home game along with fellow senior Pace, contributed 8 points. Fallon Fiore had 5 assists and Rodriguez had 6 rebounds.
“It has to be a team effort for us,” continued Addy Keenan. “We all came out here tonight determined from the start to get the job done and win a championship and it’s a great feeling to enjoy tonight before getting right back to work with another title still to shoot for.”
