IM Basketball Game 2!!

Everyone was much calmer going into the second game, and it was very evident that we had made improvement. With a score of 17-39, one eviction, and no injuries, things looked a lot better than the night before. It was the game of the 3 point shots and solid defense, although once again our defense under the basket could have used some work.

Just to Clarify, the D bracket on the Intramural Website is defined as “Women's Class D - very low skill level (don't play very often).” I think that Woman Scorned would definitely fit this descriptions. The other teams?...I am not so sure.

The Woman Scorned ladies did not get a great warm up in before the game because of the snowstorm, but this did not seem to hinder the excitement on the court. After Jiear stepped in as captain and won the coin toss, we sent 5 solid ladies out on the court to start the game.

Everyone seemed to have a lot more patience this game, and we did a good job of “swinging” the ball and working their zone defense.

Cassie “Sexy” Panther did a phenomenal job of leading her line during the first half, scoring all of the points. It was a huge loss when she got evicted because of her nose ring.

Rookie, Sam Sauerbrei, is a very exciting player to watch from the sideline with her intense style of play and crazy body gestures and facial expressions. She is a must watch for all attending the games.

Daisy Velasco also stepped up the second game, playing really solid D, especially on the full court press. She was very aware of her surroundings and helped cause a few turnovers on defense.

IM superstar Sarah Hoistad once again was a key factor out there, being about the only player on our team who was able to get a rebound.

Nikki and Bosco were also big factors taking the ball up most of the time.

The player of the second half was without a questions Tessa “the tank” Heeren. She scored a couple of baskets and kept the Scorned sideline fired up!

Overall, it was a positive 2nd game. The Scorned IM team improved greatly from the first game, and now I believe they are a strong contender in their last game of pool play.

Keep your eye on the prize ladies!
