ROOSEVELT FALL LEAGUE
43 HOOPS 48,
MINNEAPOLIS SOUTH tigers 47, two overtimes

43 Hoops topped Minneapolis South in two overtimes 47-46 in the Roosevelt Fall League week 3. 43H used the free throw line to good effect with a 13-7 advantage. Karin Gibson made the game winning free throw in second overtime. Tayler Hill led all scorers with 20. Besides that Hill led in D wraps and assists.

43 Hoops is the only multiple school team in the Roosevelt Fall League and today they received some first half help from a pair of Burnsville players---Molly Duehn and Rachel Moen. South was not at full strength. Noticeably absent, as she has been all fall due to work conflicts, was Tyisha Smith.

South led early at 6-5. But the Tigers went stone cold for seven possessions while 43 Hoops ran off 13 straight points to lead 18-6. South woke from their offensive slumber with Hill using her x ray mind reading ability to snatch errant passes. South ran off six straight scoring possessions on a 13-3 run of their own. The Tigers kept that rolling with six more unanswered points to close the half. South led 25-22 at the break.

South stretched their lead to 32-26 after a Europe Guy basket. 43 Hoops hung around and were within shouting distance. It was raining threes for a while with Hill hitting the first to put the Tigers in front 38-33. Karin Gibson answered right away with a trey and then Keely Brennan added another as 43 Hoops took the lead 39-38. From that point there were four lead changes. Two Brennan baskets put 43 Hoops up 46-42 with 1:13 left. South scored on three straight possessions, but only got four points for it. Gabby Roberts went to the line twice and came away with three points. Hill mad a free throw late, but missed the potential game winner. The game headed to overtime. Both teams had opportunities, but failed to score in the first extra session. The second overtime proved to be the finale with Gibson making the second of two free throws for the victory.
