RAIDERS REIGN SUPREME IN EARLY TOURNEY

/in /by

The Lady Raiders came out strong to start the game forcing 5 turnovers on Howlands first 5 possessions and jumping out a 9-0 lead before 2 minutes had passed. Howland would respond however with s 10-2 run to end the quarter, as the Raiders hung on to a 11-10 lead after 1.

Howland pushed hard in the 2nd quarter outscoring the Raiders 16-12 in the frame, the Raiders were able to stay in the game by driving and forcing fouls. They would go into the locker room trailing 26-23.

The 3rd quarter started much like the 1st as the Raiders used disruptive defense by freshman Bree Kohler to help spring out to a 8-0 run to grab back a 31-26 lead. But Howland would not go away as Mackenzie Maze cut the Raider lead to 31-30. Maze finished with a game high 20 points  for the Tigers. But the Raiders answered as junior Bri Modic hit back to back three pointers to push it to 37-30. Howland would push back yet again but the Raiders took a slim 43-42 lead into the 4th quarter.

In the 4th frame freshman Danielle Vuletich got herself into double figures with a pair of free throws to make it 45-42 Raiders, and they would never look back. Junior Brooke Saurwein scored 6 of the last 8 Raider points and they would go on to win 55-51. The Raiders take home the Toni Ross Spirit Foundation championship and Maddie Durkin was named the tournament MVP scoring 14 points tonight and 28 in her 2 games. Vuletich was also in double figures tonight with 13 while Izzy Lamparty, Bri Modic, and Brooke Saurwein all added 8.

The Raiders move to 2-0 and will host Salem on Monday November 27th, JV starts at 6:00.

Lady Raiders opened the season with a 44-32  win over Madison in the Toni Ross Spirit Foundation tournament at Howland.

The game started slow offensively as both teams worked to find a rhythm. The Raiders held a 10-8 lead after the first frame, 8 of those 10 points coming in the paint.

The second quarter was more of the same story. Maddie Durkin and Danielle Vuletich helped the Raiders find ways to score in the paint. The Raiders took a 18-16 lead into the half despite shooting 0-9 from 3 point range.

The third quarter is where the Raiders pulled away. Samantha Patrone buried two three-pointers within a minute to push the Raider lead to 27-18. The perimeter threat opened up the interior for Durkin and freshman Izzy Lamparty. The Raiders doubled their halftime score in the 3rd finishing the frame with a 36-24 lead.

The Raiders never let Madison back into the game from that point and cruised their way to a 44-32 win. Maddie Durkin lead the way with 14 points Izzy Lamparty was also in double digits with 12 while Danielle Vuletich added 9. The Raiders advance to play in the tournament championship Saturday night at 7:30 vs the winner of Howland and Lakeview.
