NORTH TARTAN MELTDOWN
CHAMPIONSHIP, Diamond Division, Gold Bracket
IBCA SELECT I 72, DAKOTA HARDWOOD THREAT 57
IBCA Select I won the North Tartan Meltdown by running the floor, nailing timely 3s and cashing in at the line. Katelin Oney right from the start established her imprint on the game with a lay up off the opening tip. By halftime Oney had 15 points. IBCA never had major runs, but they had enough little ones, and few dry spells. DHT did have a momentary lead at 8-7. Indy Uhlenhopp put IBCA up to stay with a basket inside. DHT had a dry spell with only one score in eight possessions. During that time IBCA went on a 14-2 run to lead 21-10. That lead expanded to 48-20 at the largest in the first half. IBCA led 48-23 at half. Oney was a one person recking crew with 3 three point plays including one from beyond the arc. IBCA made all 14 free throws attempts in the first half. IBCA also dropped six 3s in the first half.
In the second half DHT managed to cut the margin to 50-30 early in the half. Whitney Lickteig had five of the points in the DHT 7-2 run. IBCA did push the lead back out to 61-36 with a five possession offensive string. The lack of bodies on the bench was taking its toll on DHT. They only had seven players and the gas tank was nearing empty with the third game of the day. IBCA kept up their attack and led 72-43. DHT finished up with a 14-0 run as they connected on 6/7 offensive chances. Maggie Malloy had five points in the run. IBCA finished with an eight possession drought. The final turned out to be 72-57
