McNitt Leads the Way as Ocelots Surpass 100 Points

LIVONIA, MI – The Ocelots hosted fellow Region XII opponent in Lorain County Community College before heading on a little Thanksgiving break.

The defense would continue to stand tall for Schoolcraft continuing to hold the Commodores to 0 points until 5:21 remained in the 1^st quarter. In the final 5 minutes of play, Schoolcraft would outscore Lorain 17-2 to take a commanding 27-8 lead after 10 minutes. Scoring would come easier in the 2^nd quarter for Lorain as they would score 20 points in the frame, but Schoolcraft would all but match their point outlook from the 1^st quarter by scoring 26 in the 2^nd frame. Siena McNitt would be on fire from the field, in the 1^st half, McNitt would log 20 points along with 6 rebounds.

The 2^nd half would see Schoolcraft lock back in on the defensive end. Lorain would be held to just 13 points in the 3^rd quarter and just 9 points in the final quarter. Schoolcraft's offense would remain the same by scoring 24 in the 3^rd and 25 in the 4^th. Sharon Smith would lead the way with 10 2^nd half points to pace the offense.
