PARK SLOPE, BK-Nobody could stop Keyanka Bailey on this day. The junior forward erupted for 37 points, leading the Lady Lions past United Federations 56-34 at the BC Athletic Center in Park Slope Wednesday. The win improved the Lady Lions to 5-9.

Coming off a disappointing ACIS loss to rival Packer, Coach Morgan Sevigny’s Berkeley Carroll Varsity hoops club made sure that wouldn’t happen again. With UNIS having all kinds of trouble slowing Bailey down, it freed up other starters Olivia Wilson (6 Pts), Sarah Paller (6 Pts) and Tess Salvatore (5 Pts), who all contributed to the 22-point win.

Having only scored 22 the other day, the Lady Lions nearly matched that output with a 19-point first quarter taking an early eight-point lead. Despite Bailey scoring at will on an array of nice finishes off drives, United Federations hung around thanks to some inside scoring from a couple of players. A 12-4 run sliced the BC deficit to 23-21, forcing Sevigny to call for time.

Berkeley Carroll only scored 10 in the second quarter but still brought a six-point lead to the locker room. UNIS continued to keep it close the first few minutes of the second half but a Bailey-led charge pushed the lead into double digits. Highlights included a few steals for breakaway lay-ins along with some solid ball movement from Salvatore to Wilson for an easy bucket, prompting a pleased Sevigny to say, “You see No.2.”

Salvatore also knocked down a three from the right key and Paller hit a couple of nice baseline jumpers with her pleased parents looking on. Playing better D, the Lady Lions ran away from UNIS in a lopsided final period that saw Bailey continue to score in bunches. She also hit a couple from downtown from the left hash.

Despite playing with only six, BC executed well in both ends, doing a solid job on the boards with Wilson and Salvatore helping out Bailey. Paller and first-year starter Morgo Miller, who finished with a bucket, also played key roles defensively.

Bailey would soon reach 34 points with their opponent only having 33 at one point. In what likely was a new career high, she had a memorable day as did the rest of her teammates, who next host The Masters School with a special 4:30 start time at Lincoln Place Friday.

While they’ll remain home, both the JV and Varsity Boys will travel to Martin Luther for a double starting at 4.
