She just wanted to keep playing - black eye and all.
"It was nice to break the record, but we just took a little timeout to recognize it and kept going with the game," Snow said Friday night after recording 16 points and 11 rebounds in Seneca's fifth straight win, a 55-44 home victory over Olympic Conference National Division rival Camden Catholic.
The irony of Snow is that she's admittedly a mean basketball player - she claimed to like it when other players try to "push her or get in her face" just so she can return the physical play - and yet she routinely plays with a smile, regardless of the situation.
Snow, a Stony Brook recruit, loves to play the game. She's in her element against other scrappy, hard-nosed players. It's not personal, Snow said. It's just basketball.
"She plays with no fear," Seneca coach Sean Kennevan said. "You can't teach that.
"That's what impresses me most about Brittany. She just plays so hard. Whether it's in practice or in a game.
"She loves the game and she works so hard at it. Brittany spends hours and hours a week in the gym, working on making her game better."
The best part of her senior season, Snow said, is not the personal milestones. It's the supporting cast she has around her, she said.
Snow, averaging almost 18 points, is such a dominant presence in the paint that she could probably lead the Golden Eagles' freshman team to a solid varsity season.
But what makes Seneca (10-2) so dangerous is that their backcourt has more than held its own this season. Guards Taylor Watson, Molly Garthwaite, and Erica Snow, Brittany's sophomore sister, are strong outside shooters and defenders.
