The Lady Trojans started off the New Year in grand fashion. In hosting conference leader Glenbard South on the evening, the Lady Trojans knew they would have to play one of the better games to pull of the victory.
After a first quarter which saw the lead go back and forth several times, Glenbard South took a 11-9 lead after one. The second quarter saw more of the same with Timothy trying to play catch up. After the sloppiness of play, the game was tied at the half 17-17.
TC was able to regroup at a halftime and was re-energized to start the second half. Both teams scored at pretty fast pace, unlike the first half. Timothy scored 16 points the quarter, nearly matching their first half score. Not to be outdone, Glenbard South scored 15 to keep the game tight heading into the fourth.
With a slim 33-32 edge, the fourth quarter turned out to be best. Timothy did a good job of moving the ball on the offensive side and was able to come up with some timely stops on the defensive side of the ball. This allowed the Lady Trojans to build a "lead" which was not big in this game, but an eight point advantage at one point was huge. Timothy continued to share the ball and closed out the game is grand fashion. After the buzzer had sounded, Timothy had the victory 47-40!
Kelli LeGrand led the way with 16points, 7 assists. Stephanie Kuiper had 8pts, 9reb, Kaylie Pries and Sara Hodges both had 7pts while Alexis Hoogendoorn chipped in 6. Brittany Scheidt made a huge three in the fourth to kill any momentum that Glenbard South tried to get.
To say it was good team win would be understatement. The team collectively gave their best and were rewarded because of it. Great job ladies!
