Erin Fenningham back after third ACL injury

Montgomery Media reports:

Erin Fenningham is all too familiar with watching from the sidelines. However, the St. Basil guard is back on the floor after a third ACL injury and, though she’s not at full-strength, she sure played as if she was on Thursday night against Merion Mercy.

“She might be the happiest kid in the world right now,” St. Basil coach Terry Mancini said. “She loves to be on the floor and with her back, it gives our young players a very calming influence.”

Fenningham was held to two points in the first half, but went off in the final three quarters to finish with 24 points as the Panthers defeated Merion Mercy, 43-35, in Athletic Association of Catholic Academies action

Both teams started out running a full-court press which brought out a lot of sloppy play, including numerous turnovers. Merion Mercy guard Sam Siegfried was pick-pocketed by Fenningham after the opening tip and Fenningham was fouled on her layup and made one out of two free throws.

The Panthers also suffered from costly turnovers early on and found themselves down 9-4 in the first quarter. St. Basil shot one of 11 from the field including five turnovers—the youth on the Panthers roster was evident.
