Early start no problem for Radnor’s Mueller
An early wake-up call did nothing to slow down Ellie Mueller Sunday.
The Radnor forward dominated Boyertown, tallying 24 points and 10 rebounds to earn game MVP honors and lead the Raiders to a 59-40 win at the Maggie Lucas Classic at Jefferson University.
Brianne Williams hit three first-half 3-pointers for 12 points, and Holly Holtsberg paired eight points with six rebounds for the Raiders (9-3).
Also at the Maggie Lucas Classic:

Madi McKee scored 14 points, and Brianne Borcky paired 13 points with seven assists for the Jaguars.

St. Basil 37, Episcopal Academy 21 >> Riley Cassidy hit two 3-pointers in the first quarter and scored a game-high 12 points, but the Churchwomen (4-11) scored just three points in each of the final three quarters in stumbling to the setback. Raeleen Keffer-Scharpf added five points for EA.
C.B. West 39, Springfield 34 >> Jordan D’Ambrosio scored 17 points to earn game MVP honors, but her seven field goals were complemented by just five from the rest of the Cougars in a quiet offensive outing. Alexa Abbonizio buried three 3-pointers for nine points for Springfield (10-2).
