"Anyone who ever thinks free-throw shooting isn’t important should look at how this game was won", said Kevin Strebel, the Jersey girls head coach. “The CM girls got to the free-throw line a ton if you look at how scored in the second quarter,” he said. “I think that was the difference in the game, their ability to capitalize at the free-throw line. A really good team beat us tonight.”CM head girls coach Jonathan Denney said Jersey is a good team and had a good game plan against them. In the first quarter, Jersey started strong, but the coach said when his team starting rotating out of traps they did a good job. “Once we settled in and kept the pressure on, we were OK,” Denney said.
CM outscored Jersey 17-4 in the second quarter. Anna Hall had 28 points to lead CM in scoring. Hall had 13 points at the half.
Kourtland Tyus had 11 as the Eagles stayed unbeaten in their MVC conference win at Havens Gym.
Abby Manns led the Panthers with eight points, while Brooke Tuttle and Lauren Brown each had seven.
CM now stands at 13-0; the Panthers fall to 6-6 on the year.
