Sarnia, ON
– The LSSAA girls basketball season continued on
Tuesday, and the LCCVI Lancers got their first win
of the season with a 35-26 victory over St.
Patrick's in junior girls action.
The
Lancers trailed after the first quarter 7-6, but it
would be the second quarter where they would turn it
around. After an initial Irish basket, the Lancers
held St. Patrick's off the scoreboard for six
minutes. Stefurak lead the Lancers with six points
in the quarter, while Vajey, and McPhail adding
single baskets, as the Lancers take a 16-13 lead
into the second half.
In the
third, the Lancers continued to push their lead up
to 11 by the end of the quarter, as the Irish looked
to get back in by taking long distance shots, only
for the rebounds to be brought down by the Lancers.
McPhail had three points for the Lancers, while
Roanson had two, and Bolton picked up a three
pointer and assists in the quarter, as the Lancers
lead 30-19 after the third.
In the
fourth LCCVI controlled the ball, as St. Patrick's
continued to claw away at the lead. Bolton picked up
a steal for an easy two points, while Sam L. from
St. Patrick's had five points in the quarter, with
two long jumpers and an extra free throw.
But
LCCVI's lead would be to much, as the Lancers only
gave up two on their lead, resulting in a 35-26
final.
"They
played really well and improved over the last couple
of weeks," said Lancers coach Sara Krawotz. "We are
in a very strong league so coming out with a win is
very good for us."
LCCVI
relied on out rebounding the Irish to keep
possession, while St. Patrick's ball control was the
downfall in their, causing turnovers and steals,
leading the large third quarter lead. Krawotz
expects good things from her young team.
"They are
coming together as a team," she added. "They are
pretty young, and a lot of athleticism so we just
have to work on our skill now."
St.
Patrick's had a 47-30 loss on Thursday, September
29th to St. Clair, while LCCVI played Northern. No
result from that game.
LCCVI will
have Thursday off, while St. Patrick's travels to
Northern.
