BREAKDOWN FALL LEAGUE
LAKEVILLE SOUTH
LAKEVILLE NORTH panthers 30,
PARK-COTTAGE GROVE wolf pack 26
In a battle of new section rivals, and preseason top 10 teams it was Lakeville North besting Park-Cottage Grove 30-26. PCG scored more times in the game, but they were only able to squeeze one point off of those possessions, whereas LN hit two 3s to give them the margin of victory. It was a free throw parade and with running time, time spent at the line meant lower scoring games. Neither team was at full strength with Tina Fisher and Katya Leick absent from the PCG lineup, while point guard Kaiya Sygulla did not play for LN.
PCG opened scoring on their first possession with a basket by Jamie Lurken, Two LN possessions later Cassie Rochel scored and was fouled. She didn't convert the free chance, but it started a 12-0 run for the Panthers. Ashley Prather had five points in the run up. Meanwhile LN held PCG scoreless for 10 possessions, five of which ended up as turnovers. The rest of the first half LN maintained their margin. PCG went to the line six times in the first half with a chance for 11 points. PCG came away with three. Future Gopher Jackie Voigt was 3/8 at the line in the first half. It was LN up at half 19-11.
PCG opened the second half on a 7-0 run to cut the margin to 19-18. Voigt again spent time at the line with three free throws in the stretch. LN had a seven possession drough
t to start the second frame, two of which were turnovers. Mikayla Goris broke the drought on a pass from Rochel. Voigt again cut the margin to one with a pair of freebies. LN pushed their lead to five a couple of times, but PCG kept battling back. PCG scored four straight times and 5/6 to cut the margin again to the tantalizing margin of one 27-26. PCG never could push that boulder over the hill however. Rochel hit one free throw for 28-26 LN lead. PCG had two straight turnovers in an effort to tie. LN milked the clock and Prather iced the victory with two free throws.
Was it the Fall League or the Foul League I was watching? In the end it was free throws that doomed PCG's chances. They went to the line a staggering 12 times and were 12/23 on the game. They left 8 points on the table in the first half. LN also did not get all the points they could at the line, but there was one difference---when LN missed free throws it was on the &1 twice. LN always got a point from their opportunities.
