"Rose Hill brought full-court pressure that bothered our guards in both games," said Coach Hansen. "Their defensive pressure sped us up on offense and rushed us into bad shots. We couldn't get shots to fall in either game. (9/57 15.8%) in the A Game (12/65 18.5%) in the B game. Despite our inability to knock down shots the girls battled and found a way to win both games." said Coach Hansen. Elle Everhart had a great night and was the Cat's top scorer in both games as she scored 6 points in the A-game and 14 points in the B-game.
