FURY 43, TEAM WI RED WILDBERG 30

This game had similarities to the first game I saw on Saturday with the Fury taking an early 7-2 lead. Team Wisconsin battling back to take a lead, followed by another shut down in the second half. The Fury out scored TWRW 14-0 to finish the game.

The Fury used transition and a 3 by Keely Brennan to take the 7-2 lead. Team Wisconsin tied it up at seven with their own three by Nikole Wildberg. The Fury's Michelle Tobin scored a three point play the old fashioned way to push their lead out to 12-8. Then the Fury froze on offense for 11 possessions. TWRW used that down time to go up 16-12, again with a 3 ball by Wildberg. That was to be her final points of the game. The Fury regained their balance and went on a 9-2 run with Emily Kaus capping it off with a &1 to finish up 21-18.

The Fury maintained their lead for the first portion in the second half with a 29-26 lead with 10 minutes left. TWRW had a brief 30-29 lead after a lay up by Emily McCullick. After that TWRW was shut down for the game. 16 straight empty trips frustrated the Wisconsinites. They had five turnovers in that stretch, but three of those came late. So they had plenty of chances to connect, but the temperatures plummeted to -10 below. As far as the Fury, they used second chancers for 10 of their last 14 points.

Combined in these two games the Wisconsin teams were 0/34 down the home stretch. Brrrr.
