MINNEHAHA red hawks 4, WHITE BEAR LAKE bears 0
(14-13, 23-15)

Minnehaha won the Concordia St. Paul Summer League with a sweep of White Bear Lake. The Red Hawks again rallied for the win in the first game and then broke free from a six all tie in the second to cement the win.

In the first game White Bear Lake led 11-1 with 6:39 left after a transition basket by Alexis Foley. Minnehaha took a time out and started their 13-2 comeback run. The Red Hawks were helped by 8 straight points off fouls. It was tied at 11 when WBL's Laura Davis made two free throws to go up 13-11 with 18 seconds left. Annalise Ballinger drained a shot from the right corner as time was winding down for a dramatic finish for Minnehaha, their third straight come from behind one point win.

The narrow wins were a thing of the past in game two. Ballinger again continued her hot streak with an opening 3 on the first possession. WBL matched that with three points by Hanna Iaizzo--one on a foul off an offensive rebound and two points the conventional way. It was 6 all when Minnehaha put the game into overdrive. They scored on 10/12 possessions including the last 7 in a row. Foul points accounted for 9 of the 19 points in the 19-4 run. WBL made a late three possession run, but the hole was too change the outcome.

Both teams were without key players, as every team I have charted this week has been. Minnehaha didn't have Katelyn Adams who is at 15u Nationals with the Suns Gregg, and Rachel Hansen is making progress in her recovery from knee surgery. It looks as if she will be ready to go at some point late in the fall. WBL missed Julia Dysthe, Rachel Regnier, and Carly Jensen, all three point weapons.

In the JV division St. Paul Central won the title. Jen'Von'Ta Hill turned heads for Central.
