Basketball shots – five from long range and one from very close range – from the Scotty Wood Tournament take this week’s honors.
Female Play of the Week – Abby Stenger’s run of threes
The Mule women’s basketball team had a 12-point lead cut to three earlier in the half, so when it went up 51-41 with 11 minutes left in the Scotty Wood championship game, there was still a chance that Misericordia would come back again. Stenger made sure that didn’t happen, drilling five straight three-pointers in a five-minute span. By the time her run was done, the Mules led by 23 (70-47) and were well on their way to the championship.
To say that the spurt came out of nowhere would be an understatement: Stenger missed her first seven shots from three-point range in the tournament, and the Mules and Cougars were a combined 0-for-9 from behind the arc before Stenger went off.

Male Play of the Week – Malique Killing pass for Kevin Hargrove dunk
Killing distinguished himself with his scoring during the Scotty Wood Tournament, netting 28 points – including the 1,000th of his career – in the championship game to earn MVP honors. But in the first-round game against Bryn Athyn, it was a pass he made that brought the loudest cheers.
With the Mules already leading 69-44, Killing rebounded a missed Lion three-pointer, dribbled the length of the court, spun in the lane and fed an open Hargrove for a dunk.
