This was another tough game. We were down 3 starters going into the game and the girls battled. We were even in the 2nd quarter when Emma DiJoseph suffered a low ankle sprain while back pedaling on defense with no one around her. Her injury along with New Hope going 11for 14 from the line in the 4th were the difference in the game.

Being down a fourth starter was just too much to overcome. Andy is a really good coach with some talented players who know how to close out a game so you have to give them credit. While our situation is not ideal, none of the injuries are season ending. The minutes that our girls are getting now will hopefully pay off for us in the long run.
As a coach, it's nice to see Sofia Fey really step up and give us good minutes. She's making some big shots for us and her defensive footwork is really improving. After the game we used her as an example of leadership through perseverance. I'm happy that she's taking advantage of this opportunity.
Also stepping up for us are Maddie Broderick and Keira Huber. Keira's a senior who's battled injury and illness for the last two seasons. She's playing tough defense and making smart decisions on the court.
We have two tough match-ups coming up in Wildwood. At this point we're just hoping to compete in our tournament games and looking forward to possibly starting the 2nd half of the year back at full strength.
