After capping a perfect 10-0 regular season with a win over YCQ, the RYNJ girls basketball team secured the top seed in the playoffs.

On Monday night they faced Barkai, a team they had beaten by only a narrow margin during the regular season. After trailing early, the Jaguars caught up and, at halftime, the score was 22-19, RYNJ leading.

In the third period, the Jaguars started pulling away with a quarter ending score of 33-23. The fourth quarter was all Jaguars again and the final score was 45-29.

The Jaguars will face second-seeded Magen David Yeshiva in the finals next week.
