The Storm dropped their first game of the season Tuesday, losing in overtime to the Eagles of East Wake Academy 50-43 in Zebulon. Playing without Anna and Ryan, two regular starters, the short-handed Storm took an early lead and held it through most of the game. They led by 3 after the first quarter, by 7 at halftime, and by 4 after 3 quarters. East Wake came back in the 4th quarter and took the lead, but the Storm tied the game to send it to overtime. It was a very physical game, and Rebecca, Daryl, and Shelby all fouled out before overtime. The team fought hard and gave it everything they had, but just didn’t have enough left in OT. Rebecca Carlson led in scoring with 16, while Daryl Munroe pulled down 18 rebounds for the Storm. This Friday, the Storm has a rematch with East Wake at home at 5:00.
