This game matches two teams with dominating pereformances. Something will have to give tonight. It has the potential to be a great game.
Great start both teams. trading 3's good defensive pressure, with few mistakes.
both teams palyiong zone and appling good pressure to the ball.
THESA deadly shhoting gives i hem a 14-8 lead with 308/1 excellent ball movement by both teams. HCYA husting for every loose bal and winning.
THESA pressure forcing turnovers, then great ball movement creating good shots. 21-10 105/1
Amazing run for THESA builds lead up to 26 -10 at the end of the first quarter.
Second quarter much of the same. From a three point game in February to this means that HCYA can play with them, but they need to startr soon. 430/2 33-12
HCYA breaks long drought at 305/2 35-14.
HCYA stepping it up at the offense end
THESA answers their un with accurate shooting. 135/2 40-17
furious pace brings halftime score to 44-23. quite a good half of ball from the THESA angle but very disappointing to HCYA fans I am sure. Neither team is suffering from a lack of effort, these young ladies are laying it on the line. excellent from an unbiased fan view.
3rd quarter much of the same THESA can't miss opens with 2 3's before HCYA can answer
515/3 53-29
343/ 3 56-34
HCYA picks up the pace after time out now 56-39 with204/3
THESA was almost mistake free, MO starting to go the other direction.
HCYA appling pressure everywhere forcing mistakes and has been capitalizing on them still have a long road to go
WHAT A SHOW one 3 countered by another 3 ecxellent game ladies
WOW HCYA hits three at buzzer to cut lead to 61-47. good quarter by the warriors
we the fans are the winner here, entertaining performance
driving layup 2 and one lead now at 11
full court pressure by warriors
nice drive for THESA to counter
almost steal but T ball with 646 to leading 63-50.
If you just looked at the score you would say these teams don't play defense, but you would be way off base they both play great d hustlng pressing diving - giving it up
one good play followed by another now 75-54 435/4
THESA has answered with a run of their own
220/4 77-56 Th
THESA has things well under control empties bench at 200 mark.
final score 81-56.
Congratulations to the Riders and the Warriors for a great contest. The fans appreciate good ball when they see it - both of you played well, but the Riders started off strong and build up a lead that was too big to overcome. Riders, a three peat is a testimony of your dedication and determination - job well done.
Thanks for a great show.
