MN TOURNAMENT
A CHAMPIONSHIP
FULDA raiders 42, HANCOCK owls 34
Fulda successfully defended their A title, but they had to rally to do it.
Fulda trailed by as many as six in the first half. They were down 21-17 thanks to five 3s by Hancock in the first half. Bree Holleman nailed 3 treys for Hancock.
At the start of the second half Fulda took command with 9 unanswered points including an opening three by Sarah Raddle. From that point on it was a catch up game for Hancock. They did. They knotted it up quickly at 28 on two consecutive 3s by Jenny Noordmans and Tara Thielke with 9:07 left. Fulda’s Laura Kramer scored on a put back of a Kaitlyn Kramer miss, and later Chelsey Speckmeier scored on a transition lay up off a steal by Kaitlyn Kramer for a four point cushion. Thielke narrowed it with a pair of free throws. On the next possession Sarah Raddle hit her fourth 3 of the game to give Fulda a 35-30 lead with 2:06 to go. Hancock had three possessions without a score. Fulda didn’t score for two possessions, but with under a minute to go they milked the free throw line for 7 points.

Fulda's superior size and physical nature eventually took it's toll on patient, deliberate Hancock. Both teams kept their composure and poise in tense situations. But Fulda had too much in the tank for Hancock to handle. Take a look at the free throws. If you eliminate the 7 at the end when Hancock was forced to foul, it was 6-3 made Fulda. Fulda was slightly more aggressive in attacking.
