New Life Storm 34 NRCA Knights 58
Playing before their biggest crowd yet this season, the Storm took on the Knights of North Raleigh Christian Academy in a much-anticipated game at NRCA and fell by a score of 58-34. The team came out eager to play and hopeful to come away with a win against the Knights, but fell behind at the beginning of the game. They soon diagnosed their errors and fought back by repeatedly beating NRCA’s press, shooting the three ball, and playing hard-nosed defense. Trailing by 6 after one quarter, they seized the momentum in the 2nd quarter with back-to-back threes from Rebecca and Hannah Grace to tie the game at 15. They stayed right with the Knights through the second period and trailed by 5 points, 27-22, at the half. The undersized Storm missed Shelby’s presence; but Katie came in off the bench to play some valuable minutes. In the second half, the Storm stayed within striking distance well into the 4th quarter. The girls gave a great effort on both offense and defense. In the end, they noted some areas in which they can improve and will thus be better from the hard battle. Hannah Grace led the Storm in scoring with 13 points and Anna led in rebounds with 9.
