Kelly Loftus returned from injury last week against Hayfield and immediately asserted herself, scoring a team-high 17 points in a 58-34 win.

Her efforts earned her Mount Vernon Patch's Athlete of the Week.

The No. 3 Majors were able to keep up their winning streak without Loftus, and have now won five straight. They improved to 11-2 on the year.

With Loftus back, Mount Vernon looks like the one true competitor to break up the Oakton-West Springfield region final.

Loftus and the Majors return to action Tuesday when they host Falls Church.
