Continued struggles against Victory

Well, we haven't gotten any taller since the last time we played Victory, and the final score reflected that. The first quarter offered some hope, however, as the girls stayed close. The score at one time was 8-8, as Victory gave us some open shots and we were successful in denying their big girls the ball. But they changed their defense, and they started getting the ball to their tall girls, and they scored the last four points of the quarter to lead 12-8. The second quarter was rough, as Victory continued as they finished the first quarter. They outscored the Patriots 14-0 for a 26-8 halftime score. The third quarter started out the same, and the lead stretched to 32-8 before Victory rested their stars and the shots started going down. The Patriots scored the last eight points of the quarter to trail 32-16 at the half. The fourth quarter began with Victory's starters in. They increase their lead again, this time to 38-17 before they cleared the bench. Mary hit some threes to make it respectable, 40-29.

Mary led in scoring with 15, Kara, Jackie and Becca had 4 apiece, and Julia and Michele each had 1. Jackie had 11 rebounds, while Kara had 6 and Becca had 5. Mary had 5 assists and Kara had 3.

Next Game: 3:30 Tuesday at Landmark Christian in Tinley Park. Come out and see how much the girls have improved since they played Landmark for their first game of the season.
