The Lady Trojans pulled off a huge upset tonight, beating undefeated Riverside-Brookfield 43-41. The game was filled with some great play, not so great play and big time baskets in the 4th quarter. Timothy trailed the Bulldogs of Riverside-Brookfield at the half 24 to 17, but were able to close the gap a little in the 3rd quarter to put the score at 31-28 in favor of R-B. The Lady Trojans kept battling in the 4th quarter, but R-B just kept getting a basket or free throw here and there to keep the lead at 6. With just over 2 minutes to play, the Lady Trojans were down 41-35. What happened next was just a great example of some girls playing hard and looking to make something happen. The Lady Trojans finished on an 8-0 run to win the game by two. The final basket came off a great pass from Shannon McNeil to Anneke Stremler, who laid the ball in with 1 second to play….game over! Shannon McNeil led Timothy in scoring with 11 points and also grabbed 7 rebounds. Anneke Stremler contributed 9 points and grabbed a game high 13 rebounds! A great win for the Lady Trojans to say the least!
"most valuable baller" goes to Anneke Stremler...way to go Anneke!!
