SOUTHERN MINNY ELITE 49, TEAM WI RED 15s 36

Southern Minny Elite made it a clean sweep for Minnesota teams vs Wisconsin teams in the games I viewed on Saturday. The key moment came in the second half when SME went on a 16-2 run to break open a 24-20 halftime score. Both teams were not at full strength, like most summer teams, dealing with other scheduling conflicts. TWR15s had most of their guard crew gone and had to rely on others to carry the load. That played a part in the turnover count 26 for TWR15 and 8 for SME.

SME scored on the first two possessions with a Renae Pecarina three to make it 5-0. SME soon built it to 9-2. TWR15 scored once in their first seven possessions, three of which were turnovers. SME pushed out to a 22-12 lead with 3:08 left. TWR15 finished the half with an 8-2 run to make it 24-20. Rebekah Aase had six points for SME in the first half. Jen Wilkinson had seven points for TWR15 including a 3.

The second half provide SME with the coup de gras. The 16-2 run included three 3s for SME. But SME later in the half stalled out with a six possession drought. TWR15 used that down time to mount an 8-0 run that cut the margin to 44-30. The margin wouldn't get any closer.
