LAKEVILLE NORTH SUMMER LEAGUE
championship
LAKEVILLE NORTH panthers 44, HOPKINS royals 33

Lakeville North opened the second half with a 15-0 run on their way to a 44-33 win over Hopkins. Cassie Rochel had 19 for LN in the win, including 7 in that critical second half run. Neither team was at full strength. Rachel Banham was missing for LN, while Hopkins was without Kara Elofson. The Royals upset #1 Eastview in the semis. In that game they had Laura Bruce and Tess Komarek. They weren't around for the finals.

Despite having a thinner bench, Hopkins had the advantage early. They led 12-6 after a Jenna Lillemoe three. LN tightened up the game at 15-13. Hopkins had one more surge at 21-15 after Breanna Williams second steal and lay up. Williams had all 9 of her points in the first half. Then the Royal offense shut down for the last six possessions of the first half. LN edged back into the contest with four more points to close to 21-19.

The six possession drought didn't go away in the second half for Hopkins. The Royals had 8 more to start the second half for a grand total of 14 across two halves. LN opened the second half with 15 straight points (19 unanswered points going back to the first half). Rochel scored the first seven points of the half. Most of those points were set up by Kaiya Sygulla. The LN point guard had 8 assists on the night, 5 to Rochel. Rochel also had an assist for Sygulla. Hopkins managed to cut the margin to 38-29 with 2:37 left. LN scored three straight times to finish LN's scoring. On Hopkins' last possession Courtney Nelson hit a three.

I will add the photos later today.
