The team put on a balanced buzzer-to-buzzer performance against Chelsea High to secure their ninth win of the season on that night. Revere scored 61 points and hit a season-high fi ve 3-pointers. A telling statistic for the chemistry of the Patriots was the 16 assists that they accumulated over those 61 points. If there was any shortfall, it may have been the performance from the free throw line, where the girls fi nished 4-for-9 for 44%. Junior captain Velic finished with 15 points, followed closely by junior Nisrin Sekkat with 10 (including two 3-pointers), sophomore Smith with nine (one 3-pointer) and freshman Sarah Lechheb with eight (including two 3-pointers).
