Aliyah Mazyck's 4th quarter heroics saves Monarchs

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, UNITED STATES, July 23, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- The Flint Monarchs extended their league winning streak to seven games with a 71 - 59 victory over the St. Louis Surge in the second of three games scheduled for the Monarchs over the weekend.

“The Surge are well coached by Petra Jackson, I knew she would have them ready to play but I am relieved that Aliyah Mazyck’s sharp shooting in the fourth quarter saved us from an upset,” said Drey Wynn, Head Coach and General Manager.

Former University of Southern California star Aliyah Mazyck had a game high 23 points, former Texas A&M University standout Khaalia Hillsman posted 10 points and 10 rebounds, and former Central Michigan University star Micaela Kelly chipped in 9 points, 8 rebounds and three assists.

“I believe that Sunday’s game will bring a stronger defensive effort and play from our team with a sense of urgency,” said Wynn.

Emmonnie Henderson posted 12 points and 9 rebounds to lead the Surge.
