The Blue Wolves rode the hot shooting hand of Samantha Feuhring who scored a game high 30 points as Immaculate Conception held off a late 2nd half charge from Saddle River Day winning 55-40 in the semifinals of the Bergen County Girls Basketball Tournament at Ramapo College.

“I had a really good feeling that Samantha was going to come out today and have a good game,” said Immaculate Conception Head Coach Jeff Horohonich. “Her athletic ability and unselfishness is uncanny.”

Feuhring tallied 17 points in the 1st half as Immaculate Conception jumped out to a 29-13 halftime lead.
