NLC Storm 29 Wayne Christian Eagles 19
(A big Storm Blog thank you to Head Coach Aaron Miller and Assistant Coach Laura Clements for providing the write-up for this game.)
The Storm made the long trip out to Wayne Christian School and competed in a very defensively-minded battle. The final score of the first quarter was only 4 to 5, with the Storm behind by 1. The Storm’s defense was good, but it was not great. It did not lead to the fast breaks that presented themselves in the first game. At times, the offense moved the ball very effectively against Wayne’s zone. However, at other times, the passing was very sloppy. Instead of the fast-paced game the Storm likes to run, it was a slow, hard, and sometimes ugly 32 minutes. However, in the fourth quarter, with a 9 point lead, the Storm executed very well. They ran four corners to run down the clock, and Wayne had no choice but to put them on the free throw line. The Storm came away with a 29-19 win. Even though the girls know they could have played better, it was good to see them have the perseverance to win a game in which not everything was going their way. Another bright aspect of the game was the play of Shelby Suffridge, who, in a rough and tumble battle, rose to the challenge. Though she only scored 6 pts, Shelby came away from the game with 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals, 1 block, and 2 deflections.
Hannah Grace finished with 9 points and Daryl pulled down 9 rebounds to lead the Storm.
