Mohawk girls top Laurel
Mohawk (44) Vs. Laurel (38)
Jan 06, 2012
The Mohawk High girls basketball team kept rolling along last night.

More importantly for the Lady Warriors, they picked up their first WPIAL Section 2-AA victory.

Shelby Brown recorded 12 points with six rebounds to lead Mohawk to a 44-38 home win over Laurel.

The victory extends the Lady Warriors’ win streak to five straight. Mohawk (7-3 overall) is 1-2 in section play.

“The win was important because it was our first section win,” Lady Warriors coach Mike O’Lare said. “We’re hoping to continue to stack these wins.”

Mohawk built a 24-16 halftime lead, but the Lady Spartans (1-3, 4-5) cut it to 33-28 after three periods.

The Lady Warriors dominated the glass, outrebounding Laurel, 36-17.

“We were especially strong (rebounding) in the first half, limiting them to one shot on almost every possession,” O’Lare said. “We weren’t giving them too many second chances.
“They were bigger than we were in the post and for us to rebound like that, I’m proud of them.”

Katie Hoover chipped in with 11 markers and a team-high 10 rebounds for the Lady Warriors. Devon Giancola was next with nine points and eight boards.

Aislinn Deinert paced Laurel with 10 points and Marisa Wallas followed with nine.
