New Life Storm 62 Binghamton Blaze 36
The NLC Storm played their way into the 3A championship game with a blowout victory over the Binghamton (NY) Blaze 62-36. Unlike their first 3 games of the tournament, the Storm got off to a slow start, falling behind 8-3. Two 3's by Rebecca helped steady the Storm and a 3 by Georgia put them ahead 12-10 before the Blaze scored to tie the game at 12-12 at the end of the quarter. Hannah Grace began the second quarter with a steal and layup, then followed with another breakaway off of a defensive rebound outlet from Daryl to start a Storm rally. Jump shots by Shelby and Katie continued the rally and the Storm raced to a 32-20 halftime lead. In the second half the Storm continued to pour it on, scoring the first 8 points of the quarter to open up a 20-point lead. The Blaze then made a run to cut the lead back to 12, but the Storm stopped the run and pulled away over the last 10 minutes of the game. Rebecca scored 19 (including 4-6 from 3-pt range) and Hannah Grace had 15 to lead the Storm and Daryl pulled down 14 rebounds.
The Storm will face the Bravehearts of Baltimore, MD for the 3A title at 6:00 tomorrow. The game will be held in the 9000-seat Vines Center arena where the Liberty University Flames play.
