Gurlz D1…. Carondelet v Sage Hill

[kiddman32]

Two top-15 teams face off….

 

[kiddman32]

I picked Carondelet by 1…. basically a tossup.

 

[kiddman32]

Analia Holguin is the one to watch on Sage Hill. Averages some 22 ppg.

 

[kiddman32]

7 apiece halfway thru the 1st.

 

[kiddman32]

One thing spotted already (Captain Obvious mode)…. Holguin is all that and a bag of chips…. Girl has much game.

 

[kiddman32]

Carondelet buzzer beater gets them a 14-12 lead after 1 quarter.

 

[kiddman32]

Carondelet gets a 19-12 lead before fouling Holguin…. She bricks a pair…. Gets it back after a team rebound and nails a 3. 19-15. 4.59 left in the half.

 

[kiddman32]

24-18 Carondelet at the half.

 

[ClayK]

They keep getting names wrong. It's Am-a-LEE-a Hol-geen.

And not Steve Sopak.

 

[kiddman32]

time out, 27-23 Carondelet…. 5:45 left 3rd.

Holguin has 10 for Sage Hill…. Ross leads Carondelet with 8.

 

[kiddman32]

I’ll have to talk to my drinking coach, Steve Sixpack.

 

[ClayK]

We've smoked so many layups this year it's painful.

 

[ClayK]

Another one.

 

[kiddman32]

Sage takes the lead, 28-27. 3:21 left 3rd…. But not for long…. 30-28 Carondelet.

 

[kiddman32]

Tied at 30 now, Carondelet at thr line…. made 1.

 

[kiddman32]

34 all…. Carondelet takes the lead…. and 1. nope, offensive rebound, threee!! 39-34.

 

[kiddman32]

That’s the quarter, 39-34 Carondelet.

 

[ClayK]

Rather be up five than down five. But far from confident.

 

[kiddman32]

Carondelet is dominating on the boards…

 

[kiddman32]

42-38, 4:16 left.

 

[kiddman32]

I see your pronunciation corrections have stuck, ClayK…. Good work!

 

[ClayK]

In a close game in the last two minutes, I've always felt the edge goes to the team with the best player on the floor. That would be Holguin.

 

[kiddman32]

Holguin nails a 3, 44-43. Carondelet cling to the lead….

 

[kiddman32]

Celeste Alvarz with a Carondelet 3…. Holguin nails a bomb right back! 47-46 Carondelet, 1:21 left.

 

[kiddman32]

Holguin STEAL…. drive, spin, GREAT pass for a layup…48-47 Sage Hill.. Carondelet try, no, foul! FT’s good…. 49-48 Carondelet…. Sage a couple tries, nope…. Foul, 2 clutch FT’s, good. 51-48 Carondelet. 13 seconds.

 

[kiddman32]

Holguin unable to get open…. Another tosses a 3…. NO! Carondelet wins, brings a banner home!

 

[ClayK]

Amazing.

 

[ClayK]

Celeste Alvarez played a great game. Just a sophomore.

 

[letsski]

In a close game in the last two minutes, I've always felt the edge goes to the team with the best player on the floor. That would be Holguin.

But she couldn't hit a free throw. Sage Hill went something like 4 of 15 from the line. Difference in the game.

 

[Streak One]

Fun game. I think both teams will rightly feel they left a handful of points out there.

Congrats to Carondelet.
