Zaranski’s 34 points send Sailors to win
No. 13 Mount de Sales rolls to 62-48 victory; top-ranked Mount St. Joe wins, 76-45
The seventh annual Pink Out game was a special day for the victorious No. 13 Mount de Sales girls basketball team on Saturday and it was a grand day for Sailor senior Kristen Zaranski.
When Zaranski scored the 20th of her game-high 34 points she reached 1,000 career points.
Her scoring and stellar team defense helped the Sailors (16-3) derail St. Paul’s, 62-48.
The win moved the Sailors to 7-0 in the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland B Conference while the Gators (11-2) dropped one game behind at 6-1.
The Sailors are currently tied with Mount Carmel (7-0) for first place.
“I definitely knew I only needed 20 points, but I mean we just do it for each other,” Zaranski said. “We are like a really close team and everyone just kind of does it for each other.”
