Mount Mercy Sports Round-Up

 

Varsity Basketball

 

                The Mount Mercy Academy Varsity Basketball team saw its season come to an end in the semi-finals of the basketball playoffs.  The team hosted Nichols but ended up on the short end of a 33-27 score.  The teams were knotted at 11 at the half, but Nichols outscored the Magic 8-2 in the third quarter and that proved to be the difference in the game.

                Mount Mercy trailed at various points of the first half but battled back to tie or take the lead.  However cold shooting plagued the team throughout the contest, but particularly in the second half.  The team shot 24 percent from the floor. Despite the shooting difficulties and turnovers, strong defense kept the game close.

                Three seniors led the team in their final game.  Hannah Fredo (Buffalo) led team with 15 points and added 6 rebounds.  Cecilia Strang (Westfield) had five points and led the team with 11 rebounds.  Emily Kessler (West Seneca) scored four points and had eight rebounds.  Junior Mya Wood (Blasdell) added four assists.

"Mount Mercy has positively changed my life forever. Through the inviting community, I was able to grow as a woman, as a daughter, as a friend, and as a member of society. Throughout my time here I have gained an education in both academic areas and life in general through the school's ongoing efforts to educate students on gender inequality, racial injustice, and environmental crisis'. Furthermore, Mercy has given me the space to gain confidence that 4 years ago I never would have guessed I would have. Mount Mercy has helped me take that initial step toward becoming the strong woman of color I am today. At Mercy you are more than just a student, you are whoever you wish to be."

"My future, success, and the ability to be an empowered woman in society come from Mount Mercy. My school is a strong foundation for my role in life. From attending Mount Mercy, I can say with confidence, that I will graduate with the mindset that I can accomplish anything. Mercy is my home and my sanctuary to be whoever I want. Mount Mercy has been bringing forth generations of strong intellectual women into the world, and I am more than honored to be one of them. Mercy teaches girls more than academics, but also about the world around us. As a mercy community, we give back to the world because it is our home. From my four years at Mercy, I have been educated on pushing for equality and peace and the understanding that there is no limit to what I can do. I have the confidence to go out in the world and make a difference because being a Mercy girl has given me that opportunity. "

"Mercy is more than just a school. Mercy is my second home and a shoulder to lean on. Mount Mercy has given me the confidence and resources to pursue my passions and make the world a more inclusive place, propelling me to take strides into male-dominated fields. Mercy blessed me with an environment to grow intellectually and in the community, giving me the foundation to make a tangible impact while making lifelong friendships."
