Noelle Calvo went berserk with 32 points to lead Mt. Carmel School to a 44-39 victory over Saipan Southern High School in the girls varsity division of the 2008-2009 MISO Basketball League Friday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.
Calvo scored all of the Lady Knights’ nine points in the first quarter and all of 11 in the second quarter but the team fell behind by two points, 20-22, going into the second half of play.
She also had four of her team’s total of eight in the second quarter and half of the Lady Knights’ total of 16 in the crucial fourth period.
Both teams came up with eight points each in the third quarter as the Lady Knights relentlessly tried to catch up but still trailed by two points before the start of the final canto.
Opportunity came knocking when the Lady Knights strung together a 16-9 run in the fourth quarter—with eight of those points came from Calvo—that finished off the Lady Rays.
Meagan Sablan was the only other scorer for Mt. Carmel in the third quarter with four points, while Justalyn Camacho, May Nakajima, Amanda Tudela, and Taylor Ada added two points each for the Lady Knights in the fourth quarter.
Melda Mendiola scattered a total of 16 markers to lead the Lady Rays, while Dayline Joseph shot eight points. Audrey Castro and Jiann Kim added four each, while Francine Babauta and Wilani Sikyang had three and two, respectively.
With the win, the Lady Knights improved to their second win in five games.
The Lady Rays, on the other hand, remained winless after six outings.
