MCC GIRLS END REGULAR SEASON

The MCC Rebels wrapped up their regular season on Monday night in Westbrook. The Rebels lost to the Chargers earlier this season but we’re hoping for another strong performance to give themselves a winning streak entering the playoffs on Thursday. The Rebels would never give up in this game but a long stretch of no offense would cost them the game. While the Chargers would end their fivegame losing streak.
