Slow, boring, monotonous, and lacking intensity. These are words I would NOT use to describe the Women’s Division Game of the Week. Defending Women’s Competitive Division champions, Med Girls (formerly known as The Flatliners), extended their rolling winning streak by taking down top competitors, Lil Mamas. Last year’s Finals MVP, Stephanie Pannell, scored 17 points (shooting 4-5 from the free throw line) and pulled down seven rebounds.
Even though the future doctors had the lead for the majority of their 52-49 win, the game was by no means one-sided. With Whitney Lang’s 24 point effort (12 from beyond the arc) and 10-rebound performance, the Mamas stayed in close contention throughout the contest. At the half the Med Girls had a 7-point lead, but Mamas’ Sam Lewis sparked a 9-2 run to knot it up early in the second half.
A last-second 3-pt attempt by Leora Juster narrowly rimmed out, capping a frustrating night for this above average player. Perhaps better coaching at the end of regulation would have given the team a chance at a few more offensive possessions, but it just didn’t seem to be in the works for the Lil Mamas. Keep an eye on both of these teams for the rest of the season. We could see Round Two of Lil Mamas-Med Girls if they happen to meet again in the playoffs.
