Stingy Saints reach 4A regional final

Sun - 17 Feb Written by Randy Krejci

The Cedar Rapids Xavier girls basketball team began its “second season” in style Saturday night with a convincing 50-27 victory over Solon in the semifinals of the Class 4A regional tournament at Xavier.

The Saints did not let Solon score a single point in the fourth quarter.

Sarah Dickes led the Saints with 13 points. Ashley Stulken and Maddie Bertsch were vital components with eight points apiece in a balanced attack.

The fifth-ranked Saints (13-9) will face the Washington Demons (14-7) in the regional finals Tuesday at Kennedy at 7 p.m. The winner will advance to the state tournament.

Hayley Deutmeyer scored only six points for Xavier, but it was her opening two buckets that gave the Saints a 4-2 lead and they were never headed. Dickes popped in a 3-pointer, and a long 3-point bomb by McKenna Andersen at the first-quarter horn gave the home team momentum.

The game was nip and tuck the entire way.
