If you like points and offense this was the game to be at on Sunday as Randolph beat MN Summit Blue in a roller coaster game with comebacks and rallies. Consider that Summit had a 111.9 pp100 and .508 floor % and lost. This was the most entertaining game of the tournament that we saw.

Randolph was up early with a 19-13 lead. The Summit scored on six straight possessions on a 16-7 run. The Summit nailed four straight 3s in the run with the one two punch of Tanya Dickey and Emily DeWitt. That put the Summit on top 31-26. The 3 game was also working for Randolph as Krista Pelky and Marieanna Dulas connected from beyond the arc. With their long distance sharpshooting Randolph edged in front 32-31. Dickey hit her third 3 of the half to put Summit back in front 34-32. A free throw by Dulas ended the scoring in the half with Summit up 34-33.

The Summit pushed out to a 50-41 as they connected on five of six possessions. Their run at the start was 16-8. Booker scored six of the points for Summit. Randolph took a time out after Summit led 48-39. As quick as they scored the Summit offensive effort dried up. The drought lasted seven possessions. That time out turned things around for Randolph. They went on a 17-2 run to go up 56-50. Katie Toellner and Krysta Pelky each had five points in the run. But Randolph was on fire. They were 70% on their possessions making a comeback extremely tough up hill climb for the Summit. Rooney scored on a touchdown pass over the press to finish the contest 74-66.
