An interesting contest took place over on Court 1 in the 6:15 PM slot between the Scrubs team and the GAC Alumni team. The Scrubs team would take control of this one out of the gate; grabbing a 4-0 advantage by the 9:05 mark of the opening period and then getting some definite separation by the midway point with an 18-5 lead. By the end of the first period, the Scrubs team would hold a 24-10 lead. The GAC Alumni team continued to struggle on the offensive end and this allowed the Scrubs team to extend its lead to 28-12 by the 7:10 mark of the second period and this trend would continue as the Scrubs team would be holding a sizable 42-23 lead by the halftime break. By the 8:05 mark of the third period, the Scrubs team appeared to be cruising along with a 46-26 lead and not much changed with 3:05 left with the Scrubs team up 54-36. But just when the GAC Alumni team appeared to be dead and buried, they finally found new life and a 5-0 push cut the deficit to thirteen at 54-41 by the end of the third period. The GAC Alumni team would keep chipping away; getting the deficit to eleven at the 6:05 mark and eventually got back to within single-digit range but could not complete the deal as the Scrubs team got out of Dodge with a narrow win..........Things were tight early on over on Court 2 in the 6:15 PM slot between the Beavs team and the Auggies team as the latter would hold a slim 5-3 lead at the 7:05 mark of the opening period and this contest would be leveled at eight a piece by the end of the first period. Things would quickly fall apart for the Auggies team, however, as the Beavs team went on a game-changing 13-3 burst to hold a 21-11 lead by the 7:25 mark of the second period and with just under two minutes left, the Beavs team was rolling with a 37-13 advantage. By the halftime break, the Beavs team was up comfortably at 39-18. A quick 9-0 at the start of the third period upped the Beavs lead to 48-18 by the 7:15 mark and they would maintain this thirty-point cushion up 50-20 by the midway point. By the end of the third period, this one was getting out of hand with the Beavs team up 60-24. By the midway point of the fourth period, things were pretty much academic with the Beavs team up 64-27 as they romped to an easy win..........Another interesting contest took place over on Court 3 in this time slot as the She Got Game team took on the MN-NYCE team. The She Got Game team would hold a slim 6-4 advantage by the 7:30 mark of the opening period and although the She Got Game team would get on a push to up their lead to 11-4 by the midway point, the MN-NYCE team would get things tightened up again down 11-9 with 2:45 left only to see the She Got Game team get on another push to up its lead by 17-11 by the end of the first period. Undaunted, the MN-NYCE team would come right back and take a slim 21-20 lead by the midway point of the second period and they would get a bit more breathing room with a 27-23 advantage with 2:00 left and they would maintain this four-point edge with a 27-23 lead by the halftime break. The MN-NYCE team would be clinging to a 32-30 advantage by the 6:00 mark of the third period but they would again get some breathing room upping their lead to 34-27 with 2:25 left. But the She Got Game team would find a second wind and get on a run and by the end of the third period, the She Got Game team was holding a 40-37 lead. Fittingly, this game would stay tight throughout much of the fourt period before the MN-NYCE team pulled away down the stretch for the win.........One of the better games on this night took place over on Court 4 in the early time slot that saw the St. Kate's team taking on the GAC Gold team. The St. Kate's team took control of this one early on; grabbing an 8-4 lead by the 7:30 mark of the opening period and maintaining this four-point edge up 12-8 with 3:40 left. But the St. Kate's team definitely had momentum on its side as they stretched their lead to nine at 19-10 by the end of the first period. The St. Kate's team would be holding a 27-19 lead by the 6:10 mark of the second period but the GAC Gold team would get on a push to cut the deficit to to just four at 27-23 near the midway point. Still, the St. Kate's team would keep its opponent at bay with a run that had them up 37-27 by the halftime break. The St. Kate's team still had control of things with a 39-30 lead by the 7:10 mark of the third period and they would still hold a 41-32 lead near the midway point. But it was here where the GAC Gold team started picking away at the deficit and with 1:25 left, the St. Kate's team saw their lead dwindle to six at 46-40 with 1:25 left and although they were still up 47-42 by the end of the third period, the GAC Gold team had seized the momentum. By the 8:25 mark of the fourth period, the GAC Gold team had closed the gap to a single possession down 49-46 and the GAC Gold team would finally forge a 50-49 lead by the 6:50 mark and they would continue to keep the St. Kate's team quiet offensively as they expanded their lead to 54-49 by the midway point. The St. Kate's team never recovered after losing their lead as the GAC Gold team came away with the tough win.
A highly-anticipated contest took place on Court 1 in the 7:10 PM slot that saw the Beavs team doing double-duty on this night - and fresh off of their big win in the early time slot - took on the GAC Black team. The GAC Black team would have things going their way early on in this contest and would hold a 6-2 lead by the midway point of the opening period. The GAC Black team would hold a 13-8 lead with 3:30 left in the opening period and would then get on a run and expand their lead to 26-17 by the end of the first period. The Beavs team would get things tightened up a bit as the GAC Black team's lead would be cut to 26-20 by the 8:05 mark of the second period and the Beavs team would keep chipping away and would eventually get this game deadlocked at 32 a piece with 1:15 left. By the halftime break the GAC Black team was holding onto a very uncertain 34-32 advantage. To their credit, the GAC Black team refused to fold and they would slowly rebuild their lead to 37-32 by the 8:55 mark of the third period and would hold a 42-36 lead near the midway point. The GAC Black team would maintain this six-point edge up 48-42 with 1:30 left and by the end of the third period, the GAC Black team had a ten-point cushion with a 52-42 advantage. The GAC Black team would hold a 54-46 lead by the 8:05 mark of the fourth period and would maintain this cushion up 59-51 with 2:40 left in regulation as they got the dub on this night..........An interesting match-up took place over on Court 2 as the Rusty Buckets team took on the Washed-Up Warriors team. Things would be tight early on in this one as this game would be deadlocked at five a piece by the midway point of the opening period and things would still be tied at 9-all with 2:30 left and that's how this first period would end. The Washed-Up Warriors team would get on a push once the second period got underway; building a 17-13 advantage at the 7:10 mark and then a key 8-2 run by the Washed-Up Warriors team stretched that lead to 27-15 with 1:50 left and they would build that lead to 32-18 by the halftime break. The Rusty Buckets team would continue to struggle on the offensive end as they still trailed 32-18 by the 8:30 mark of the third period and could only cut into that deficit incrementally trailing 38-23 near the midway point. That left the door open for the Washed-Up Warriors team to stretch this lead even more and they did as they would be up 45-23 by the end of the third period. There was little doubt about how this one was going to end as the Washed-Up Warriors team enjoyed a 47-30 lead at the 6:00 mark of the fourth period and they had things in cruise control the rest of the way..........Another match-up of alumni/mixed teams took place on Court 3 in the 7:10 PM slot as the Wash-Ups team took on the Alumni team. The Alumni team got off to a good start in this one; getting a 6-2 lead by the midway point of the opening period and they would still be up 11-8 with 1:45 left. But that lead by the Alumni team would be cut to one at 11-10 by the end of the first period. The Wash-Ups team then began to open things up on the offensive end and assumed a 20-15 advantage by the 6:15 mark of the second period and would maintain this five-point spread at 22-17 with 2:20 left. By the halftime break, the Wash-Ups team had stretched its lead to eight at 27-19. The Wash-Ups team still had the upper hand once the third period got underway; holding a 29-22 lead at the 7:45 mark and a 33-27 advantage with 4:05 left. By the end of the third period, the Wash-Ups team had rebuilt that eight-point advantage at 40-32. By the 7:10 mark of the fourth period, the Wash-Ups team were able to get some meaningful separation with a 46-32 lead. Although the Alumni team cut the deficit to eleven at 48-37 near the midway point, they could never get closer as the Wash-Ups team put the finishing touches on this one with a 53-39 lead with 2:20 left..........One of the other good games on this night took place on Court 4 during this time slot that saw the Sara's Shooters team take on the Hammies team. The Sara's Shooters team would hold a slim 5-3 advantage at the 6:15 mark of the opening period and it would still be a single possession game with 1:40 left with the Sara's Shooters team up 12-9. By the end of the first period, the Sara's Shooters team's lead had been cut to a scant point at 14-13. The Hammies team meanwhile seemed to find new life once the second period got underway and they would hold a 25-18 lead by the 6:00 mark but that lead would be short-lived as the Sara's Shooters team got on a hot streak with an 11-0 push down the stretch to hold a 29-25 lead by the halftime break. The Hammies team went right back to work once the third period got underway and they got this contest leveled at 29 a piece by the 6:47 mark and things would still be deadlocked at 31-all with 3:35 left. By the end of the third period, the Sara's Shooters team was clinging to a 34-33 advantage. Things would still be tight once the fourth period got underway and the Sara's Shooters team was still hanging onto a one-possession lead up 38-35 by the 6:50 mark and it looked as if this one could be a fight to the finish. Curiously, however, the Hammies team seemed to run out of gas by this point as the Sara's Shooters team got some more breathing room with a 49-44 advantage with 2:20 left and they managed to pull out a tough win.
Hope to see all of you down at the Midtown YWCA this coming Wednesday night for another fun night of action!
