Halftime:
St. Michael's 25, SFIS 23.
The Braves held a 23-19 lead on Jenine Coriz's layup with 1:56 to go, but the Lady Horsemen went on a 6-0 run to retake the lead. St. Michael's 6-foot-3 post Sarah Hattis might be having a breakout game, as she scored nine first-half points. Both teams have slugged it out in the post. Mariah Elote had eight points, while April Johnston score 10, which included a pair of 3-pointers.
But she also picked up her third foul with :16.8 seconds left.

St. Michael's 32, SFIS 31.
The game has taken a much more defensive tone in the third, with SFIS outscoring the Lady Horsemen 8-7. Jenine Coriz exploded for six points and helped get St. Michael's guard Kayle Herrera three quick fouls ...
