(22-21, 16-15)

Minnehaha rallied for both wins in the semifinal round in the Concordia St. Paul Summer League tonight. Henry Sibley led 20-14 with under three minutes left. Anna Marie Martino delivered two 3s to tie the game. Bree Allen made one free throw with 42.9 seconds left to give HS a one point lead. On the next Minnehaha possession Liz Mrozak found Sarah Peterson on the back cut for the final two points. A desperation three by Katie Ahlstrom did not fall for HS.

In game two HS again enjoyed early leads as much as 9-3 with nine minutes left. Again the three ball helped Minnehaha back into the contest. Ballinger tied the game at 11 with a three. Ahlstrom put HS back in front with her own three. Then the game pivoted on a rebound. Henry Sibley's Emily Larson was fouled by Peterson. Larson shoved Peterson in the back after the play was over resulting in a technical foul. HS received one point for the foul, Minnehaha two for the tech. That still put HS up 15-13. Martino was fouled on a rebound under the HS basket to cut the margin to 15-14. The game winner again was scored by Peterson with 42.5 seconds left. HS had a great opportunity with a drive by Grace Arnold, but it lipped out. Minnehaha advanced to the finals.
