Comments by Coach Holleman: "We dug ourselves a big hole in the opening half, as we were trailing 17-32; however, we came back and played them evenly in the second half (34-32). We needed to score in the opening half so that we could set up our presses. Our presses caused Eden Prairie some havoc in the second half. We also missed a ton of free-throws in this game which would have put the game within reach. The girls executed the fast break attack very well in the second half. Eden Prairie had a deep bench which hurt us down the stretch."

Today the semis take place at 10:15 am at the college of St. Benedict in St. Joseph. It will be St. Paul Central vs Hopkins and Becker vs Centennial.
