MSB 49, SHOX 29
This matched two 15 year old squads and it was MSB (MN School of Basketball) with their size and experience knocking off the Shox, a team that has some Waseca ties.

Darcy Rice scored off the opening tip for MSB, but Hayford answered right back with a 3 for the Shox. Hayford had three 3s in the first half. Jennie Kalbfell scored her first points on a three from the right wing to push the lead out to 7-3. The Shox were able to tie it at 7 with a rebound basket by Campbell. After that point MSB scored on 5/6 possessions and pushed the lead out to 17-9. Kalbfell added five points during the 10-2 run, three on an old fashioned three point play. Hayford added a trey for the Shox to cut the lead to 19-12. She had eight of the 12 Shox points to start the game. But then the Shox shut down for 8 possessions. MSB didn't really take advantage of the drought with only four point added to their total. In fact MSB closed out the half with a 1/12 offensive sequence with a Rice 3 the only points. The Shox actually outscored MSB 8-3 to close the half 28-21.

The second half started off on a slow note with only MSB's Gabrielle Schroeder scoring a free throw for one point in the first 13 possessions combined for both teams. MSB did have a five possession string to go on an 11-2 run. Six of the points came after a miss by the Shox and then a sprint down court for a transition lay up by MSB. Kalbfell had her own three possession string later in the half with a post up, a high low, and a transition lay up for six straight points and a 48-26 lead. For the last five minutes MSB only squeezed one more point out of the nets. The Shox did get three more but the game was decided. The Shox was 2/13 in their last possessions, while MSB was only 1/11.
