METRO STARS BLACK 43, TEAM WISCONSIN SELECT SAMUELS 40
Metro Stars Black rallied from 10 down with five minutes left to beat Team Wisconsin Select Samuels 43-40 in a battle of heavyweights. TWSS was without the services of Sam Hoyt who was at Central Michigan's camp and Heather Kessler who was at UW Green Bay's camp. TWSS added a few players from Team WI Select Doucette's team--Anna Cole and Brittany Gregorich. A key part of the win was the ability of MSB to neutralize the twin towers of Nicole Griffin and Cole. Combined they had six points.
TWSS broke free from a seven all tie with a 13-2 run in the first half to go up 20-9. They scored on five straight possessions in the run with Whitney Rawdon leading the way with four points. During the stretch MSB was only 1/9 on their offensive possessions. It turned around quickly with TWSS's offense going into snooze mode with a 1/11 finish to the half. MSB didn't really light it up either only adding five to their column. MSB was only 2/10 to finish the half. At the half it was 22-14. TWSS pp100 and floor % for the first half was 81.4 and .370; MSB was 53.8, and .269.
MSB opened with a 10-3 run to start the second half to close to 27-24. Lizzi Naumann had six of those points, four on second chancers. TWSS had their surge with a 8-1 run to get their biggest lead of the second half 35-25. MSB was 1/8 during that stretch with the last four trips all turnovers. Sam Price and Laura Petersen each had four in the run. Six of those TWSS points came at the line. So TWSS was not scoring from the floor with ease. Tina Fisher opened the 18-5 run for MSB with a drive. MSB would score on 8 of the next 10 possessions. Brittany Zins, Kirstee Rotty and Sam Mehr all added points from beyond the arc. Alyssa
Marschner gave MSB their first lead of the second half with two free throws 40-39. Price made one free throw, missed the second, but TWSS maintained possession of the ball. Brea Tinney took a shot and Naumann rebounded for MSB. That set up what proved to be the game winning. Naumann found Fisher on the block and Fisher put a hook over the outstretched hands of Griffin for a 42-40 lead. TWSS took a time out and on the next possession Petersen drove and missed, but TWSS got the ball back under the basket. TWSS ran the same three point shot play that worked in their comeback vs. Team WI Select Doucette. This time the Petersen 3 attempt missed and Naumann gathered the board. She was fouled and made one free throw with 24.3 seconds left. TWSS had another crack at a tie, but Brittany Gregorich's shot missed the mark. Sam Mehr rebounded with 2.3 seconds ending a tightly contested game.
If you look at just the last 7 minutes combined of both halves MSB outscored TWSS 24-11. MSB needs to avoid the cold spells on their offensive performances. Take away the last 10 possessions of the game and MSB's floor % is .295 with a pp100 of 56.8.
