Girls BB rankings (1)

St. Edward sports a 8-2 overall record and is currently riding a three-game winning streak.

The Green Wave received a scare last weekend when senior star Katie Yohn missed the team's game against ACC with a left foot injury. Coach Michelle Dawson said after the game that Yohn, who lead the area in scoring last year (20 ppg), would be out "indefinitely".

However, the sharp-shooting 6-foot guard returned one game later and scored 22 points. She then added a season-high 31 in another victory on Wednesday.

She's back.
