While March Madness rages on -- and it's definitely had some madness to it thus far -- last weekend signaled the end to the season for two local women's basketball players now flourishing at the NCAA Division III level.
Yssa Sto. Domingo, a Streamwood native and St. Edward graduate, and Hersey alum Mary Kate Fahey saw their seasons -- and for Sto. Domingo her career -- end on March 11 in the DIII Sweet Sixteen.
For her career, she played in 104 games, dishing out nearly 200 assists and averaging 5 points per game. "Being a leader is something I think I've embodied naturally. At the beginning of each season, I truly emphasize my line of contact to the team/newcomers, and I think that that is what sets the foundation for how close of a relationship I have with each teammate. I want my teammates to know that whether something is basketball related or not, they are able to come talk to me.
Speaking of the future Fahey, who was the 2020-21 Daily Herald all-area team captain for the Northwest suburbs, was also a three-sport athlete at Hersey, and actually earned a fourth varsity letter her senior year when, due to the pandemic, she also played tennis.
