Basketball Update
"Maribel Spakowiak played the game of her life Friday night, scoring 26 points, hauling in 15 rebounds, dishing out 7 assists, and blocking 5 shots, as her school won their NCAA Division II first round game, 86 – 70.
"Spakowiak dominated the low post, scoring on a variety of interior shots and demanding the ball every time down the floor. She was also 9 for 10 from the free throw line.
"Spakowiak’s school scored the first eight points of the game and never relinquished the lead. They led 40 – 35 at the half, and pulled away in the second half , at one point leading by 24 points. They also got a fantastic effort from Bailey Sommerset, the wily point guard who had 16 points, twelve assist, and five steals.
"The highlight of the game was early in the second half when Spakowiak blocked her opponent’s shot to Sommerset, who drove the ball down court and then dished back to Spakowiak for a layup."
Their second round game is this evening. I will try to deliver the highlights Sunday morning.
I’m so excited!
