FIVE THINGS

1. Cardinal O'Hara (11-1, 6-1) was ranked No. 1 in the country in several prominent polls.

2. Wood coach Jim Ricci: "The girls played absolutely phenomenal. We played very good defense and shot the lights out. I told the kids that it was a game they’ll never forget.

3. Vikings senior guard Jen Maxwell and sophomore guard Steph Keyes combined for five 3-pointers in the second half. Maxwell, who had been injured for much of the early part of the season, was hot in the third quarter, while Keyes shot well in the fourth quarter.

4. The 6-foot-3 Robinson led all scorers with 17 points. "Ashley played extremely well taking it to the basket," Ricci said.

5. "It is unbelievable," Ricci said.
