The Eden girls basketball team set five goals before the start of the season. The
Raiders have accomplished all but one of them, and they inched a step closer toward achieving
the final one by breaking a long championship drought Thursday night.
Eden won its first division title in 22 years, beating visiting Holland, 65-44, in
ECIC IV play. Hannah Herc led the winners with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while twin sister
Hailee added 12 rebounds, 10 points and six steals for Eden (14-1, 11-0), the News' No. 10
Small School.
The Raiders came into the season wanting to win the two tournaments they entered (Hae Jude
in Silver Creek and Springville), beat Lackawanna (which they did twice), win the
division title and earn the right to play for a sectional title at Erie Community College.
ECC is the only goal left on Eden's list.
"It's been a great season," fourth-year coach Marisa Fallacaro said. "They started in the
offseason working and in some summer leagues and camps. They've had their goals set and
they've been determined all season long."
We have five goals set for the season. We've gotten four of them."
Bettina Jackubiec had 12 points and nine assists for the Raiders, ranked No. 10 in The
News' small school poll.
In ECIC I, Orchard Park gained a measure of revenge by beating the team that handed
the Quakers their first loss of the season two weeks ago. Noelle Poloncarz had 18 points,
while Taylor Swiatek added 10 points, nine rebounds and five assists as No. 6 Large School
Orchard Park beat No. 10 Clarence, 55-30. The Quakers avenged a 56-54 loss Jan. 21 at
Clarence (9-6, 6-5) with the win.
In a showdown between ranked small schools, defending Section VI Class B girls basketball
champion Olean pulled away from Allegany-Limestone, 72-53, in CCAA I.
Rachel Bantelman scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the co-No. 2-ranked
Huskies, who made the state semifinals last year. Grace Williamson added 17 points and nine
rebounds for the Huskies (12-2, 9-1), who enjoyed a 34-16 rebounding advantage. Lindsey
Stoddard led No. 4 Allegany-Limestone (11-3, 6-3) with 16 points.
In the Monsignor Martin Association, five players scored in double figures for
Nichols as the Vikings improved to 9-1 in the Monsignor Martin Association with a 74-63
win over Mount St. Mary.
Kylie Reinholz and Sloane Walton each scored 17 points for Nichols (12-4), while Meghan
Heldwein had 18 rebounds and 13 points.

who won the regular season Syracuse Cup title. She won the backstroke and 200 freestyle and
was a member of the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay teams. Sara Rosenblatt won the 100
free, 50 butterfly and was a member of the 200 free relay team.
Francis Cunningham won the boys 200 freestyle, 200 individual medley and was a member of
the winning 400 relay team for City Honors. Anthony Prentiss won the 50 free and the

St. Joe's-Will North play to a tie
St. Joe's came up with a fine effort Thursday as it tied unbeaten Williamsville
North, 2-2, in Western New York Varsity Hockey Federation play.
Zach Klapt had a goal and an assist for the Marauders (13-8-2), while goalie Marc Mallare
made 23 saves. St. Joe's scored twice in 35 seconds in the final 1:55 of the first period to
