The final score was about the same as the first two times we played Victory, but the game was quite different. The team's improvement was noticeable. The final last night was 31-19, but there was no "garbage time" in this one. The girls hung tough until Victory got some breathing room at the end.
The score at the the end of one quarter was 13-8, Victory. We hit some outside shots and were moderately successful in denying the ball to their six-footers. The second quarter was even, as the Patriots tightened their defense even more, and Mary scored all six points in the quarter.
The Patriots came out strong in the third, with Mary hitting a three to bring them to within two points. Victory then went to a man-to-man defense which flustered the Patriots somewhat. That three by Mary turned out to be our only score, while Victory scored six, making the score at the end of three, 25-17.
The fourth was more of the same, as the Patriots struggled to get an open shot, and Victory methodically added to the lead.
Statistics (per me): Mary scored 13, Kara 4 and Jackie 2. Jackie led in rebounding with 8, while Mary, Becca and Michele each had three. Mary and Kara each had one assist.
Next game: Thursday, January 24 at 4:30 PM at Southside Baptist, 5220 W. 105th St. Oak Lawn, IL. Come on out and cheer on the Patriots.
