A Pair of Maryland Softball Player of the Week Winners Face-off as Good Counsel edges Bishop McNamara

A rare feat happened in Maryland as Bishop McNamara faced Good Counsel in WCAC softball action on Tuesday. The last two winners of High School On SI's Maryland Softball Player of the Week polls faced each other.

Isabel Camara of the Falcons is the most recent winner for the week of April 13-19, while the Mustangs' Koryn Otey won for April 6-12.

A Scoreless Battle Turns Late

With Bishop McNamara as the home team, the game itself turned out to be very close throughout. Neither team was able to score until the seventh inning.

That's when Grace Mackrell and Giselle Reyes drove in a two runs to give Good Counsel the 2-0 victory. The Falcons improved to 10-8 on the season, while the Mustangs dropped to 11-6.
