Briarcest Christian's Adrienne McKay wasn’t as prolific, or dramatic, as she was the last time around against St. Benedict. But the 5-4 senior guard was just as effective down the stretch, leading the host Saints to a 45-37 victory Friday night that clinched the 2-AA West Region regular-season title.
“You like to have that going for you as you start the regional,” said BCS coach Lee Smith, whose fifth-ranked Saints (19-5, 5-0) have a final conference game at home against last-place Hutchison next Friday before tournament play. “Adrienne was a constant threat for us all night, but we did our best work on defense. I was very happy with that.”
Three weeks ago, McKay had 20 points, including the game-winning free throws in the final second of a 53-51 squeaker. Friday she wound up with 15, seven in the final quarter including four straight free throws and a closeout steal in the final 2:05.
