Consolation Champs!! Timothy beats Antioch

Congratulations to the Lady Trojans for their consolation championship win this evening. The Lady Trojans defeated Antioch 57-49 behind a well balanced attack. Katie Dirkse led all scorers with 18 points, followed by teammates Shannon McNeil (10 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks) Anneke Stremler(10 points, 10 rebounds,3 steals and a block). Also contributing on the night was Meghan Leach with 9 points and 5 rebounds, Kari LeGrand with 8 points and 7 rebounds and Kelsey Kaczynski chipping in 2 points and some good minutes played. Some good overall play, making their free throws and making the clutch shot allowed Timothy to lead the entire game. Timothy raced out to an early 11 point lead after one quarter and held a 9 point advantage at halftime. Antioch battled back and cut the lead to 2 points at the end of the 3rd quarter. However, the Lady Trojans stepped up and finished the final quarter by displaying some great mental toughness and seizing control of the game. A good win for the ladies. The Lady Trojans finished the tournament with a 3-1 record and their only loss came to eventual champion Newark. A good tournament to say the least!

On a side note, Meghan Leach earned all-tournament honors for her consistent play throughout the tournament...congratulations Meghan!
