Sting Come Away With Senior Night Victory Behind Monster Game From Fischer
January 29th, 2014- Last night, Varsity Girls Basketball played a very good Bruriah team, and came out on top by a score of 45-38.
The game started out slow, with SAR jumping out to a 7-4 lead after one quarter behind senior Samantha Hollenberg's three points and five rebounds.
SAR was able to hold onto their slim lead at the end of the second and third quarters, leading 14-12 and 26-22, respectively.
In the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bruriah, led by junior Nikki Bick, started hitting clutch shots to take the lead. But as soon as it seemed as if the momentum had shifted to the visiting team, sophomore Dahlia Fischer knocked down a huge three-pointer to regain the lead. After that shot, the rest of the game belonged to Fischer. She hit a second three-pointer to stretch the lead to six, and hit many free throws at the end to ice the game.
As Fischer put it, "As a point guard, I was figuring out what was best for my team and what I could do to help my team win." Fischer is a great distributor, yet never shies away from a big shot. Those two three-pointers are a big reason SAR came away with the win.
Fischer led SAR with a whopping 24 points, Hollenberg scored nine, and senior Sofie Levinson added four points and three steals.
Lastly, congrats to the seven seniors- Hollenberg, Levinson, Sara Waxman, Ali Trachtenberg, Yaela Halper, Avital Goldstein and Arly Mintz, on playing their final regular season home game. Hopefully, a playoff home game will follow, but if not, this was a great way for the seniors to go out.
The Lady Sting now sit at 8-2. Their next game is on Monday February 3rd at Bruriah.
