BREAKDOWN FALL LEAGUE
LAKEVILLE SOUTH DIVISION
ROCHESTER LOURDES eagles 41,
HOLY FAMILY fire 30
There was only three possessions where Holy Family led in this game--an 8-6 lead early in
the first half---as Rochester Lourdes used their full court harassing press to douse the Fire 41-30. The Lourdes defense only allowed six field goals the entire game, only three in the half court 5-5 action. Meanwhile their press and fast breaks delivered at least 16 points in their favor.
Lourdes scored on their first possession off the tip on a basket by Lindsay Frie. Lourdes put the heat on the Fire right away with the press. It disrupted the free flow of Holy Family's offense and forced them to do things they didn't want to do. The Fire briefly held the lead on the strength of a 8-2 run with Lisa Weathers scoring four of the points in a four of five sequence. But after that the embers were stone cold for the Fire with a 10 possession drought wi
thout a spark. Lourdes enjoyed that time with a 15-0 run with many contributions by all. The top two point getters in that time were Laura Melquist, who had four points on one possession, and Claire Rieder, who had lay ups off turnovers. HF snapped out of it with three straight scores to close to 21-14. Lourdes led at half 26-14.There was one more stretch in the second half where the Fire went cold. It was a mini drought of five possessions. In that span Lourdes held their biggest advantage at 38-22. There was no surprises or drama the rest of the way. Lourdes cruised to a 41-30 win.
