Cicerone (then Mary Lillie) won Marian's first CHSL title in 1986. Marian (12-6), which never trailed in the contest, was paced by senior guard Anna Herberholz, who scored a game-high 24 points. Defensively, Elle Ervin and Sarah Sylvester clamped down on Divine Child’s top player, Kennedy Blair, limiting her to 12 points (two field goals). Divine Child, which had beaten Marian twice in the regular season, fell to 15-3.
