Last night's game at Glenbard South was a fun one. With both teams coming into the game with only one loss in the conference, the importance of a victory for either team was crucial. Knowing that going into the game, the Lady Trojans were excited and eager to get the game going. The coach on the other hand had plenty of nervous excitement and so many thoughts flooded his mind. Needless to say, all of those things go away once the game starts.
Timothy came out with a great start with posting a lead of 12-4 at one point in the first quarter. Glenbard South finished up the quarter by scoring the last four points to make it 12-8 after one.
Both teams found some offensive flow in the second quarter with Timothy scoring 17 points and Glenbard scoring 15. That allowed TC to take a 29-23 lead into the half. The second quarter saw some timely three's from Kelli LeGrand and Jessica Dirkse.
The third quarter did not resemble the second quarter in that each team struggled to score at times. Thankfully Timothy was able to win the quarter 9-8 and take a 38-31 lead into the fourth quarter.
Free throws were the name of the game in the fourth. The Lady Trojans scored 10 points alone on free throws while only making two baskets. Overall, Timothy shot 22-28 from the line, which proved to be a valuable asset tonight. The final score ended up being 52-37.
As was the case again last night, Cassidy Block continues her torrid pace of scoring by dropping 27 in the game. She also had 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. Kelli LeGrand had 9 points, 2 rebounds, Jessica Dirkse had 6 points while Tessa Bosman had 4 points, 9 rebounds and 5 steals. Shelly Ditchfield, Jasmine Stein and Stephanie Kuiper had 2 points apiece.
Next up for the Lady Trojans is Riverside-Brookfield on Thursday night. It is also Senior Night, so make plans to come out and support the Lady Trojans on this special evening.
