Storm vs. Lighthouse

NLC Storm 60 Lighthouse Eagles 44

On a snowy wintry night, the Storm pulled away from the Lighthouse Christian Homeschool Eagles in the second half to win their first conference game of the season. As has been the norm, the Storm jumped out to an early 8-1 lead. Foul trouble then forced NLC to go with a small lineup and the Eagles used their size advantage to pull even at 10-10 early in the 2nd quarter. Led by Anna, the Storm regained the ;ead but turnovers and fouls and a big rebounding edge helped Lighthouse stay close as the Storm led by 27-22 at the half. The second half began with Hannah Grace scoring on a drive, then Hannah getting a steal and passing ahead to Hannah Grace for the easy two. A little bit later, some strong moves inside by Anna, a 3-pointer by Hannah off a pass from Anna, and a 3-pointer by Rebecca gave the Storm an 18-point lead at 49-31. The Storm ran a 4-corners offense for much of the 4th quarter, and turnovers allowed the Eagles to slice the lead to 1o but they could get no closer as the Storm cashed in on free throws for the final margin. Rebecca scored 18 points to lead the Storm, while Anna had 13 and a team-leading 7 rebounds.
