In the first round of girl’s games in the 2021 Morrissey Classic Tournament St. Raphael and Mater Dei had a slow start. Both teams were struggling to find the net until Paris Darling grabbed the first basket of the game for St. Raphael. As the game progressed Mater Dei’s #33 Aubrey Terranova shined in the defense battling triple coverage throughout the game. St. Raphael’s #34 Avery Bellack was the shining star of their defense with the combination of Paris Darlings‘s ability to continuously find the basket. Mater Dei did not give up hope as they began to string along a couple points towards the end of the game. Their efforts were not enough as St. Raphael held Mater Dei to under ten points to end the game 23 to 9. Coach Terranova's statement after the game was that of faith as he believes “the heart and the fight of these girls will help them win.”
