Storm VG vs. Durham Flight

Durham Flight 63   New Life Storm 54 (OT)

The Storm Varsity Girls' NCHEAC conference record fell to 1-1 as they took a disappointing home loss to the Durham Flight.   The Storm led virtually the entire first half, and seemed on the verge of taking control of the game up 26-17 with under 2 minutes left in the half.  Mental mistakes and a late flurry of scoring by the Flight led to a 26-23 halftime score and swung the momentum to Durham.  Hannah Grace caught fire in the second half, hitting 3 three-pointers and scoring on drives to the basket.  The Flight matched her, though, and the score remained tight.  The Storm got behind late in the 4th quarter, but managed to come back and send the game into overtime thanks to a number of clutch plays down the stretch - FT's by Leigh and Hannah Grace, a basket in traffic by Sarah, and a big block by Shelby.  In overtime, the Storm seemed to run out of gas and had difficulty generating points, and Durham pulled away for the win.  For the game Hannah Grace had 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 steals, while Shelby had 6 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks.
