Delano MYAS Event
17 1 Pool Play
MN SUNS FASSETT 61, NORTHERN LIGHTS 26
MYAS didn't get the jump on me this game. I was already there. The Northern Lights didn't get the jump on this game. They fell into a 9-0 valley early and never were able to get any traction. The Suns (the eventual champs of this event) held NL scoreless for nine possessions at the start of the game. The Suns speed & quickness, defensive pressure, and depth (11 players to 7) proved to be too much for the Lights.
Jasmine Mendes scored six of the first eight Suns points. Then it was Rhodesia Robinson scoring on three straight possessions--all at the line. Soon the score was 20-5 for the Suns.
NL had a very brief 5-2 run to cut the margin to 22-10. However the Suns scored on six straight possessions helped in part by six straight NL turnovers. It was an 18-2 run as the Suns led 40-14 at the break.
In the second half it was more of the same except the clock was running from the start. The interesting fact in this half was the Suns scored 11 of their 21 points on second chancers. Also of note the Suns only missed on six possessions in the second half.
