BRONX, NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 3- Visiting Stepinac High School gave Mount Saint Michael Academy more than they could handle on Saturday afternoon in Catholic High School hoops action.  

An early 20-6 lead almost had Stepinac running away early, but the 14-point lead was cut in half to 35-28 with 4:19 remaining in the second quarter thanks to early foul trouble giving the Mountaineers multiple trips to the charity stripe.  

Falling behind as much as 24 points in the second half, Mount struggled to keep pace with Crusaders, dealing Mount Saint Michael Academy a 92-76 loss.  

Mount looks to get back to winning next Tuesday February 11, taking on All Hallows in their final home game of the season.
