When I had said in one of my earlier posts that there were now two summer leagues to watch, I lied. There's actually THREE summer leagues going on this summer and late this afternoon I ventured across the St. Croix River over to the land of Packer fans and cheese to the YMCA in Hudson Wisconsin for the opening of the new summer league there. I only got to take in three games but hopefully will be able to catch a little more action over there the next time around. Anyway, here's what I was able to get:
4:00 P.M. Game
UST #1 - 77
Hamline #1 - 17
As you can tell, not much of a contest as Hamline struggled all game long to find any sense of offensive cohesiveness and was plagued by numerous turnovers and other mistakes. The Tommies were led by Maggie Weiers in this one who seemed nearly unstoppable at times.
5:00 P.M. Game
UST #1 - 66
St. Kate's - 52
The Wildcats gave the UST #1 team a much better game in the 5:00 P.M. slot; falling 66-52 but after trailing 36-21 at halftime, the 'Cats got their act together and managed to get to within ten on a couple of occasions in the second half. Weiers again had a big part in the Tommies win in this one and lefty Hannah Hughes also contributed as well. Despite tweaking her ankle, St. Kate's Brittany Ward was able to knock down a couple of "3's" to help the Wildcat effort. La Shay Holt also had a big second half for the Wildcats.
6:00 P.M. Game
St. Kate's - 59
UW- Superior - 47
The Wildcats were able to bounce back from the defeat in the 5:00 P.M. slot to notch a victory over UW-Superior. St. Kate's was able to get a 36-21 halftime lead and managed to push the lead to nearly twenty in the early part of the second half before the Yellowjackets were able to mount something of a comeback to slice the deficit. UW-Superior got to within ten on two occasions coming down the stretch but could never get any closer despite several opportunities. St. Kate's got contributions from several players in this one. Alexis Garcia, the Clark twins (Audra and Meg), Holt, and Ward had good moments for the Wildcats in this one.
