Two great wins! These teams were not pushovers by any means. Lots of hard work, great execution of the plays on the offensive end and stifling defense kept the girls in both games.



The morning game against the Staten Island Diamonds was a thriller with the Lightning turning it on in the second half for a 14 point win.

The second game was probably a little closer than it should have been. The girls came out a little flat in the first half and the officiating left a little something to be desired... the refs were consistent in that regard if not in any other. The Lightning struggled through it and solid defense and a very physical tone was set by the gritty determination of the bench players. FANTASTIC job by the entire bench in this one, would have been a different story completely without their effort. Lightning was never really able to put the Falcons away and ended up winning a 40-34 nailbiter... much closer than the score even indicates with Stone hitting an and1 in the closing minute and Ashleigh putting in an incredible buzzer beater to finish it.



GREAT JOB!

Lightning plays the pool 2 second place team tomorrow morning and should they win that they move on to the Championship later that afternoon.
