Stoirm vs. Trinity of Durham/Chapel Hill

New Life Storm 54 Trinity Lions 57

The Storm dropped a close game on the road against the Lions of Trinity School in Durham. After a two-week layoff from games, the Storm go off to a sluggish start in the game. They got down 8-2 and Trinity held the lead for the entire first half. NLC played a strong third quarter and led by as many as 6 points, but a buzzer-beater at the end of the period cut the lead to 2. The Storm fell behind again early in the 4th quarter but battled back and got some run-outs off long passes to retake the lead. The game was back and forth down the stretch until, with the Storm ahead 49-48, Trinity shot a 3-pointer that hit the rim, bounced high in the air, and then bounced in for a 51-49 Lions lead. The Storm fought hard to the end, but was never able to tie or retake the lead again. For the game Hannah had 13 points, followed by Mary with 12, and Leigh was strong on the boards with 18 rebounds. Shelby also posted her third double-double of the season with 10 points and 16 rebounds.
