Here are a couple of pregame notes from Mercyhurst Prep:

All-state forward Kirsten Olowinski slightly injured her hamstring in Saturday's game, but she still ended up with 28 points and 10 rebounds. An assistant coach reported that Olowinski is coming off one of her best practices of the season, so she should be fine tonight against Franklin.

Meanwhile, senior guard Courey Schaetzle, the Lakers' defensive stopper, is fighting an illness. She will play tonight, but she might not cover Franklin's top scorer, Saddie Gravatt.
