Reading Sophomore's Too Much for Woburn

Olivia Healy Is Doing It All For Reading

Olivia Healy (our #1 ranked Mass Soph) and Morgan O'Brien (our # 8 ranked Mass Soph) combined for 42 of Reading's 60 points to lead Reading (our #8 ranked team) over Woburn (our #20 ranked team) 60 - 44 on Tuesday evening.

With Providence College's assistant coach looking on, Healy did not disappoint as she scored 29 points (including 4 three pointers) and added 15 rebounds in the battle of the two undefeated teams. In our evaluation of Healy, we have described her as a tough combo forward who can play inside and out. She plays the game with great intensity. Healy has the ability to score in traffic off the dribble and can knock down the open three. Her versatility and toughness make her a tough matchup at any position.

Morgan O'Brien had a three pointer of her own as well as a nice drive to the basket on her way to 13 points. O'Brien is quite a talent of her own has she as a pretty stroke that extends well beyond the three point arc. O'Brien has also improved on her ability to put the ball on the floor, as well her ability to get to the basket, and finish.

Woburn was led by junior Erin Marshall who scored 13 points.

The Rockets moved to 7-0 in Middlesex League play and 9-0 overall and surely made a statement of why they are one of the best teams in Massachusetts. Woburn suffered there first loss of the season and moved to 6-1 in League play and 7-1 overall.
