Thursday's games
Albertus Magnus 54, Ketcham 47
Sixteen players scored Thursday night in a battle between the locally-ranked No. 1 and No 2 girls basketball teams that seemed to follow no predictable script but had a predictable ending.
Albertus Magnus, which has spent virtually the entire winter as the No. 1 team in The Journal News/lohud rankings, got by visiting No. 2 Ketcham 54-47 Thursday night in a game that was up for grabs at 49-47 after Ketcham’s Ally Kaminski drained a top-of-the-key 3 with 1:07 left to play.
But Maddy Zuppe, the Falcons’ clutch sophomore point guard, then beat the shot clock at the other end of the court, hitting her own 3 after glancing elsewhere and finding no one open.
Zuppe then all but sealed the deal, grabbing a rebound, getting fouled, and hitting two free throws.
With Ketcham throwing different defensive schemes at Magnus, which helped limit the damage from its traditional top scorers, Julia Scott (seven points) and Allie Falesto (six points), and Ketcham star Nia Rencher (two field goals and 10 points total) being blocked multiple times by Magnus freshman Mikaiya Beasley and sitting for the bulk of the third quarter with four fouls, contributions on both sides came from multiple players, including subs.
Falcon Sophia Malpeli, who had 10 of Magnus’s 22 second-quarter points, and Ketcham’s Jenny Nardelli led all scorers with 13 points each.
That strong second quarter, which saw Magnus outscore Ketcham 22-13 to take a 30-23 lead into the break, followed what Magnus coach Pat Driscoll described as an “ugly” opening period.
Ice-cold shooting and Ketcham’s defense kept the Falcons off the scoreboard for nearly half of a low-scoring first quarter, which ended with Ketcham on top 10-8.
Ketcham coach Pat Mealy threw different defensive schemes at Magnus and, initially, that worked.
“We were trying to confuse them. It’s a team full of superstars over there,” Mealy said.
But Mealy noted as Ketcham denied Scott, other players started hitting 3’s.
“You have to pick your poison,” he said.
Riley Ward had two of those long-range shots in the first quarter.
Fo the game,Malpeli had three 3's and Magnus finished with eight in all.
Ketcham also had success from beyond the arc, draining six 3’s.
Mealy pointed to the game changing in the second quarter with Magnus scoring eight points in transition.
The game was physical, which Mealy anticipated it being, explaining that will happen in any game “that matters.”
Scott credited Ketcham’s defense for having success blocking her and Falesto out.
While the game hardly ran according to plan, she liked the fact multiple players contributed in multiple ways, a point echoed by Buckley.
Beasley finished with eight points for Magnus, two of them coming off a huge offensive rebound and put-back late in the fourth quarter.
Jaylyn Chorba, who had a big defensive game for Ketcham, had 11 points.
With the win, Magnus is 15-3, all of its losses coming to teams outside the arear.
The loss was only the second for Ketcham and its first to a Section 1 opponent. It's now 17-2.
