ABOUT LAST NIGHT\u2026.MARANATHA V TARTAN<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first game of 2026 I made my way to Maranatha for a non-conference match up with Tartan of the Metro East Conference. The host Mustangs, after a slow start, then ran roughshod over the Titans in a 67-52 victory. Coming into the game Maranatha was the #35 ranked team according to the QRF method and Tartan was not far behind at #45.<\/p>\n

Tartan scored on their second and third possessions for a quick 5-0 lead and extended it to 14-5 with about 12:30 to go in the half. Then Maranatha got into an offensive groove led by senior forward Olivia Lanari. She hit back to back 3s followed by\u00a0 a pair of free throws after a put back attempt. This was the Mustangs\u2019 first string of the day—four possessions but still trailed at this point 14-13. At the ten minute mark they took the lead for good in the middle of a massive 21-0 run. The Titans came up empty for seven minutes, or 13 possessions, a drought of biblical proportions in which they would not recover. By half Maranatha led 35-25.<\/p>\n

The second half saw Tartan attempt to climb out of that steep hole a couple of times. The Titans brought the deficit under double digits twice. In the first sequence they cut the score to 45-37. Maranatha responded with 16-2 push to make it 61-39. That run was capped by Lanari\u2019s 1000 point, a 3 from up top. A 13-2 Tartan swing gave the Titans some hope, but that rally soon stalled out with three minutes left in the game. Tartan did not score again in their final six possessions.<\/p>\n

Taking the two mega runs together Maranatha outscored the Titans 37-2. Tartan \u201cwon\u201d the rest of the night 50-30. The hosts grabbed offensive rebounds at a 46.2% clip. And they valued the ball a better rate of 31.27 touches per turnover to the 10.27 for Tartan, almost three times better. That difference prevented Tartan from getting quality shots where they outperformed Maranatha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

There was only one player that cracked the 31 Club and that was 1000 point scorer Olivia Lanari of Maranatha. The senior actually cracked the 41 Club with a score of 45. She had a game high 26 points and a game high dozen d stops.<\/p>\n
