Playoff Win

I wanted to post this earlier than today and perhaps have a youtube link to the first playoff win in three years for the Lady Apaches, but this week has been so incredibly busy with preparation for the next round of the playoffs.

We played a really good first half of our opening round game, leading by 15 at halftime. We had our chance in the early part of the third quarter to put the game away, but we missed two open layups and turned the ball over two more times on breaks to the basket that would have been an open layup. We left 8 points off the board in the first minute in a half of the third quarter. After that, Somerset chipped away at our lead, but in a quick explosion, we took the lead back up to 13 points with a minute and half left in the third quarter. Then we went into one of our famous end of the quarter funks and led by only 6 going into the fourth quarter.

We hung on and won the game by two, 56-54. It was not a very pretty second half, but the bottom line in the playoffs is to survive and advance. We survived and now we advance.
