Mustangs fall to BV

A Game: Memorial traveled to Brandon Valley on Friday night, and ended up on the wrong end of a 32-12 game. Brandon used a stifling defense to keep the Mustangs to a low point total. The Lynx also used the backdoor cut and some dribble drives to get some easy buckets. The Mustangs kept working hard the whole game, playing the home team to a draw in the fourth quarter.

Coach Hoegh says: "We came out pretty flat instead of being ready to attack from the start. I was impressed with their defense, but I'd like to see our girls play against them again to see what we could do. We need to be a little more aggressive on the offensive end in our last couple of games."

B Game: Brandon Valley used offensive rebounding and pressure defense to defeat the B team in the second game. Turnovers never allowed Memorial to get enough scoring chances to keep the game close. The home team took advantage of their depth to sustain the lead that was built in the first half.

Coach Hoegh says: "I think we need to value the ball much more than we did today -- we allowed a ton of offensive rebounds. We did improve our boxing out as the game went on. It was good to see Marisa N nail a few shots in the second half, and Tovie T had a pretty sweet one-handed three at the buzzer."
