With the game down to the wire and trailing by one to Bishop Fenwick, things were not looking good for the Cardinal Spellman girls basketball team.

But with 1.1 seconds left on the clock, senior guard Nicole McDonough inbounded the ball to sophomore guard Nicole Anderson who drove it down the court for a layup to win the game for the Cardinals, 60-59

Anderson had a total of 13 points in the game. While she might have gotten the game winning basket, junior Alexis Udogi played a huge role in keeping the Cardinals competitive with 20 points, 16 rebounds, and five assists. That's excellent in it's own right, but when you throw in the 17 blocks she, it was an amazing performance. The 6'4" center certainly did her job tonight.
