PLATINUM DIVISION, Pool B
43 HOOPS ZUCK 50, TEAM WI RED WHITE/GUDMUNSEN 38
It was a game of runs and droughts as 43 Hoops Zuck used a strong start offensively with a 10-2 run, and then slammed the door shut at the end with an 18-2 run to beat Team WI Red White/Gudmunsen 50-38. Those two runs combined gave 43 HZ a 28-4 advantage. TWRWG outscored 43HZ 34-22 the rest of the game.
43HZ started off by scoring on six of their first seven possessions for a blazing start and eventually a 15-4 lead. Melissa Borstner started things off with a basket and later added another in the run on a steal and lay up to help 43HZ to their early advantage. TWRWG had three turnovers in their first five possessions which didn't help their cause. The game turned on a dime with TWRWG holding 43HZ scoreless for 12 possessions while they went on a 19-0 run. 10 of those points came on second chancers. With Wisconsin up 23-15 43HZ had to get something going. That something was Amanda Barton who scored from the right corner and then later hit a three to cut the margin to 23-20. 43HZ also used their pressure defense for four points on steals and easy shots. At the break TWRWG led 29-25. Barton had 8 for 43HZ while Aysa Sellers had 7 for TWRWG.
The Wisconsinites didn't score on their first five possessions while 43 Hoops tied it up at 29 on a three by Tess Lueders and then one free throw from Borstner. TWRWG regained the lead, the largest coming at 36-23 after a left corner shot from Jess Withey. Then the lights went out for TWRWG. They went 18 long, dry possessions before scoring again, basically 12 minutes without tickling the twine. Barton started the comeback for 43HZ with five of the first seven points in an 18-0 run. TWRWG finally scored with 24 seconds left on a lay up by Sellars, but it was way too little and way too late to make any move.
