Samantha and her Bronchos teammates fell behind early in
this game, but managed to stay the course and battle to take the lead. In fact,
they held on to the lead through the rest of the game, though there were some
tense moments at the end as Clio pulled close. Sam struggled today on offense,
turning the ball over more times than she should have - mostly due to mental
lapses like dribbling in to the corner and by making bad passes. Thankfully she
didn't let her offensive struggles affect her defense, which remained strong.
And best of all, her offensive struggles didn't cost the team, as they held on
for a 23-20 victory, moving them to 2-1 on the season.
