Scranton’s own Rachael Rose is officially on the move. The 5’7” point guard enters the portal after a dominant run at Wofford, where she averaged 22.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 5.4 assists last season. With elite performances against Power 4 programs and a 40% clip from deep, Rose has quickly become one of the most coveted mid-major transfers in the country.
Penn State guard Moriah Murray has officially entered the transfer portal after three impressive seasons in Happy Valley. The Dunmore native started 27 games this past season, averaging 8.4 points and leading the nation in three-point shooting early in the year with 37 triples. Her departure marks the fifth for the Lady Lions this offseason, as Murray looks to make her mark with a new program after a standout career in the Big Ten.
Loyalsock Township’s dominant third-quarter surge proved too much for Dunmore, as the Lancers ran away with a decisive 60-36 victory in Round 3 of the PIAA playoffs. Led by Lacey Kriebel’s 24 points and a relentless defensive effort, Loyalsock overwhelmed the Bucks, setting the stage for their next challenge in the state tournament.
What stood out in this game was Marian Catholic’s sharpshooting from beyond the arc. The team hit 10 three-pointers on the night, providing a significant boost to their offensive attack. Elk Lake struggled to match that perimeter shooting, and despite a game-high 23 points from Leah Traver, the team couldn’t keep up with Marian Catholic’s balanced scoring.
Maya Jenkins etched her name into Scranton Prep history on Saturday, scoring her 1,000th career point in a dominant 56-34 win over Delone Catholic in the PIAA Class 4A first round. The senior guard reached the milestone in the fourth quarter, capping off a stellar performance that helped the Classics (24-1) advance to the next round. Scranton Prep’s defense fueled the victory, holding Delone Catholic to just four second-quarter points while Bella Dennebaum led the scoring effort with 14. Up next, the Classics face Allentown Central Catholic with a trip to the state quarterfinals on the line.
