The St. Mary's Cardinal girls have yet to lose a game this season, and last week kept their streak alive. The first of their two matches was the Neligh-Oakdale Warriors, who traveled  to face the Cardinals.

Quarter one put the Cardinals ahead by just four, but it was still a solid start. The second quarter the Warriors gave it their all and beat the Cards 10-9. 

After losing quarter two, the Cards went all out and took third by 16 points. Now up 19 points, the Cards were nearly untouchable. Quarter four further widened the gap between the two and the Cardinals took the win 63-33.

Mya Hedstrom scored and impressive 26 points, shooting four of eight three-pointers for 50 percent and five of 12 two-pointers for 42 percent. Hedstrom also had 13 rebounds and eight steals; Alissa Brabec had 15 points, one rebound and two steals; Lorissa Reiman 12 points, 19 rebounds and one steal; Gracie Williamson five points, five rebounds and two steals; Annabelle Barlow two points, seven rebounds and six steals; and Adyson Peterson one point and one steal.

The opening quarter was a statement from the Cardinals, winning 25-7. Quarter two calmed things down but the Cards still took it by three points.

The Knights went full throttle and managed to overpower the Cardinals in the third, taking it 18-15. The Cards still had the advantage and the final quarter only further cemented it when they won 19-6. Now up by 31 points, the Cardinals took the win 72-41.
