METRO STARS BLACK 69, NEN EXTREME 56

In game two today Metro Stars Black topped NEN Extreme 69-56. NEN stands for Northeast Nebraska. This was a pendulum game with both teams enjoying periods of dominance. MSB jumped out to an early 7-0 lead. It was then NEN Extreme's turn as they enjoyed a 19-6 run to lead 19-13. MSB finished off the half with a 20-3 run to lead 33-22 at the break. NEN did cut the margin to 49-40 in the second half. MSB responded with a 8-0 run for a 57-40 advantage with 5:50 left. NEN did get the margin back to a nine point deficit with time running out 65-56, but Brianna Tisch scored four points on the last MSB possession for the final margin. Sam Mehr led MSB with 13 points in a balance attack. MSB had seven players with six or more points. Nicole Rauner led all scorers with 17 points thanks in part to five 3s.

One odd fact in the game: MSB went to the free throw line 24 times while NEN took two free throws.
