Gabe Pieschl drives at the top of the key. The plan going into tonight was to defend, rebound, hold them to one shot, move on offense, and knock down the open shots. “We stuck to the plan for the most part,” said Pieschl. “Some mistakes were made, there were too many turnovers but we played hard and had a chance at the end but it wasn’t the outcome we wanted.”
Jonsson makes some key free throws for the team towards the end of the game.
Enaruna lines up during the free throws.
The crowd and the team jumped up during an exciting 3 point play that was later recalled by the refs due to a foul before the shot came off.
