All the girls played incredibly today but the MVPs of today’s game are Elena Bortoli ‘30, Cali Atcheson-Greenidge ‘30 and Aniah Tucker ‘30. Elena played strongly and made many effective passes down the court and into the shooting circle. Cali’s shooting is unmatched, her technique is incredible and her linking play in the centre and goal thirds was extremely helpful for her teammates. Finally, Aniah had an incredible game although she was put in an unfamiliar position she rose to the occasion and secured many interceptions.
