Allison Hawkins won 12 of 18 draw controls and Sammie McManus was credited with eight ground balls."It was a sloppy, scrappy, physical game in the first half,” said Cheltenham coach Dave Burton. “I thought that PW played great defense throughout the game, and really made us work for every shot. They kind of dictated the pace of play in the first half with their defense, and they forced us into a lot of bad shots and turnovers.
“I think the girls made a nice adjustment in the second half and played with a little more purpose on both ends of the field. We made some bad decisions, but we made plays when we needed to make them. This was one of those ‘grind it out’ games … not very pretty, but we did enough to win."
