NORTH TARTAN MELTDOWN
Bronze Division Semifinals
Bloomington Kennedy
MN STARS MARTIN 13s 70, NORTH TARTAN HEDSTORM 13S 60

Today the games I charted ranged from the young to the teams I haven't seen that much. It was also a MN Stars kind of day. All Three games I saw feature MN Stars teams and all three were victorious. Also all three games were on court five.

In the first contest I charted, MN Stars Martin connected on eight 3s as they topped #1 North Tartan Hedstorm 70-60. MSM broke free from a 19-18 contest with a 16-0 run late in the first half. MSM had three 3s in that burst. MSM led 40-24 at the half. NTH did come back with their own 16-4 run in the second half to close to 57-53 with 3:35 left. Rebecca Dahlman had 8 points in that NTH run. That was as close as it was going to be. Jade Martin responded on the next MSM possession with a three and delivered another one three possessions later as MSM pulled the upset. Jade Martin led MSM with 17 points. Dahlman had 19 for NTH.
