Game 3

The final game of the day started out pretty sluggish, as the Avengers team fell behind early and remained trailing at halftime by 4 points. They came out aggressively in the second half, however, and surged to a big victory over the 8th grade Hurricanes team. This game was probably their best overall of the tournament, as they worked together in all phases of the game - offensively, defensively, and on the glass. Samantha had a good game handling the ball and battling for both rebounds and loose balls, although she was scoreless once again (she had a couple of nice looks, but just couldn't connect). By the time the second half was over, the girls had gone on an offensive surge that saw the 4 point deficit erased and replaced by a 13 point lead, as they won the game by a score of 32-19, holding the Hurricanes to just 4 second half points. Great job girls!
