WOODSTOCK – Ellen Koscielniak started and ended the game better than she could have imagined.

It was the Marian Central junior who started the game by connecting on a 3-pointer. And it was Koscielniak who put the Hurricanes on her shoulders during a crucial overtime period, scoring the first nine of the team's 11 points.

Her efforts, coupled with the performance from teammate Shannon Wuensch and great team defense, led the way for the Hurricanes as they won the Class 3A Woodstock Regional championship by defeating Woodstock North in overtime, 64-56. The Hurricanes will face Burlington Central in a semifinal of the Genoa-Kingston Sectional on Tuesday.
