Christmas Tournament Summary

The Lady Trojans just finished playing in a very competitive Lisle Christmas Tournament last night. With one of best fields from top to bottom in recent history, the tournament gave the Lady Trojans some very good games. Timothy ended the tournament with a 2-2 record and a renewed passion for playing some good defense. Timothy competed very hard in every single game and were just unfortunate to be on the losing side in a couple of them. The Lady Trojans leave the tournament on a positive note as they get ready for the New Year. Thanks to everyone who came out over the Holidays and supported the Lady Trojans. We appreciate your support and encouragement to us all!!

Lady Trojans get the Win

This evening, the Lady Trojans traveled to play the Tigers from Elmwood Park. This was the last game of the first round of conference play and last game before Christmas. Timothy was able to use a good 1st quarter push to take the game 40-22. After getting several easy baskets in the first quarter, the game took on a lull of sorts. With not much offense being scored on both sides it came down to defensive stops. The Lady Trojans held Elmwood Park to just 9 second half points. Good play was turned in by Amanda Dykema with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Cassidy Block chipped in 11 points and 7 rebounds with the "birthday girl" Maggie VanderWoude dropped in 4 points and 6 rebounds. A good win for the team as they head into the Christmas break.

Come on out and support the Lady Trojans in their Christmas Tournament at Lisle High School. Their first game is scheduled for Dec. 26 at 6:30pm. Hope to see you out there!!

*We will also be donating a check to CareNet based upon our proceeds from Summer League. Coach DeKoekkoek would like to thank the many parents and players for giving of their resources and time to make this donation possible. Thank you to all!

A Tale of Two Halves

The Lady Trojans were unable to slow down Westmont this evening, losing 52-35. The first half saw a lot of positives for the Lady Trojans, with good ball movement, hitting the open shot and playing some pretty good defense. However, there are two halves in a game and the second half was not so good. Westmont dominated the paint with their big girls and were able to hit some timely 3 pointers to open up the lead. Another learning point for the Lady Trojans as they continue to form their identity. Once again, Cassidy Block led the team in scoring with 10 points, Kari LeGrand chipped in 7 and Jordyn Platt had 6. Timothy plays again this coming Thursday at Elmwood Park.

Combining the turnovers with some good offensive rebounds from R-B, the Lady Trojans were battling a deficit the whole game. Timothy was led in scoring by Cassidy Block with 14 points, Jordyn Platt 11 points and Amanda Dykema with 8.

Timothy Wins Nail-Biter!

The Lady Trojans won a nail biter this evening, beating Fenton 32-31 to improve to 2-1 in conference and 4-3 overall. The game had a lot of ups and downs, but in the end the Lady Trojans perservered and pulled out the tough victory. Timothy trailed after one quarter, 9-4 and then proceeded to cut the lead to one at the half, 14-13. The Lady Trojans came out a little flat in the 3rd quarter and it showed with Fenton winning the quarter 13-5. Trailing by 9 entering the 4th quarter, the Lady Trojans needed a comeback and that is exactly what happened. Timothy tightened up their defense and made some huge baskets on the offensive end. The Lady Trojans outscored Fenton 14-4 in the 4th and no two points were bigger than Cassidy Block’s game winning lay-up with 2 seconds left. A lot of credit goes to the girls for working hard and staying tough when things were not going there way. Amanda Dykema led Timothy with 10 points, 8 rebounds, Jordyn Platt had 7 points, 3 steals and Cassidy Block had 6 points and 7 rebounds. A good win for the Lady Trojans.

Timothy Loses to Illiana 56-42

The Lady Trojans lost their first conference game this evening. Illiana jumped out to an early lead after one quarter and pretty much kept a safe lead from there. The Lady Trojans threatened in the 3rd Quarter, cutting the lead to 7, but were unable to sustain the rally. Cassidy Block once again led Timothy with 14 points, 2 rebounds, Jordyn Platt and Liz Powers each chipped in 8 points, while Lauren Couture dropped in 4 points, 2 rebounds and a steal. Kari LeGrand and Amanda Dykema led the team with 8 rebounds apiece. Renata Harris also contributed with 5 rebounds and 2 points. A tough loss to take, but Timothy now gears up for another week in which they host two conference games.

Lady Trojans lose Non-Conference Game

The Chargers from St. Joe were too much to handle on this night. With the game being played at a very fast tempo, the Lady Trojans were not able to keep up. Give credit to St. Joe’s for some great shooting, strong inside presence and overall pressure defense. Timothy was able to get some positives out of the game as the team continues to form it’s identity. The final result was 82-48. Timothy was led in scoring by Jordyn Platt 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals Maggie VanderWoude 10 points (4/4 from the field) and Kari LeGrand with 8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Renata Harris chipped in 2 points, 3 rebounds. A valuable and needed experience for the Lady Trojans tonight!
