MINNESOTA STARS SHOWCASE
game three
BADGERS 44, CYCLONES 38
The Badgers had a strong dose of Minneapolis Lady Cats as the edged the Cyclones 44-38. Of the 11 players on the roster 9 played some for MLC this summer. Seven played in this contest. The rosters tend to whittle down as the day progresses. This was a 2:50 game and each team was missing some players due to other conflicts. It should be noted the Badgers had five players
from the 2011 class or younger, the Cyclones two. It should also be noted that neither team was a veteran squad. The Badgers had four players with varsity experience on the roster, of which three played. The Cyclones had seven, of which only four played.
For those familiar with the MLC style of play it is aggressive defensively. That is the style the Badgers used. The refs whistles were busy in this contest with the Cyclones getting 18 points on fouls. They only made 8 free throws since a team was credited with a point on every shooting foul. The Badgers only had two points this method. That meant the Cyclones only scored 10 field goals, half as much as the Badgers.
This was also the lowest scoring contest of any the events. Part of that has to be due to the
inexperience of playing together, some of it is due to fatigue (this was both third game). As it was the Badgers had an early 10-5 lead as the Cyclones were mired in an 8 possession drought. However they bounced back with a 12-6 run to go up one 17-16. Rachel Stenhaug had four points off transition layups after missed Badger shots. Ashle Roedel had five points in the stretch, all on fouls/free throws. Carissa Wolyniec hit a three and then Aubrey Davis answered for the Badgers. The game was tied at half 23 all.
The Cyclones led 31-25 early in the second half. After that the Cyclones became the Breeze on offense as they only scored on 5 of their last 18 possessions (a floor % of .278). Meanwhile the Badgers had a 5/6 offensive sequence on an 11-6 run to go up 36-35. Kaitlin Gerber had 7 points in the offensive jolt. The Badgers last 8 points came at the hands of Brianna Williams and Tacita Gonzalez, each with four points.
