TEAM BASKETBALL PLUS 20, BASKETBALL DIVAS 12
Team Basketball Plus used their depth, balance, and younger legs to defeat the Basketball Divas 20-12.

It was slow going at the start of the game for both teams. The Divas were 2/14 (a bone chilling .143 floor %), while TBP started off 2/10 (.200 floor %). This was the Divas' third game of the morning and they only had four bodies to pick from. TBP had five players, and only played once in the semis. TBP scored on three straight possessions to push their lead out to 7-4. Cassie Rochel had two of the points, while Hana Potter closed the mini run. Another dry spell struck both teams. The Divas endured a 1/12 sequence; TBP had seven empty trips. TMP had another three possession scoring string with Carissa Wolyniec scoring twice in the string. That put the youngsters up 15-9. TBP had one more three scoring string left in it. This time it was Theairra Taylor with two scores. She struck behind the "2" line twice including the final points of the afternoon.
