60:00 - Looks like Grace U just arrived. They have a roster of 8 players, or one more than my youth basketball roster.
40:00 - Had a fun 10 minute conversation with CSM Sophomore Alleigh Gates. She's out with a knee injury but didn't expect to play anyway. Apparently she could be quite the smartass in high school.
Game Time
Starting Lineups:
Grace: Tschida Johnson, Karen Orozco, Darielle Evans, Marisa Brown, Alyssa Strickland
CSM: Alyssa Laudato, Ashley Nelson, Miranda Acuna, Lacey Knudsen, Tyler Sumpter
First Quarter
10:00: Grace wins the opening tip.
9:24: 3-0 CSM after 2 blocks on the defensive side and a transition 3
7:14: 5-5 Tie, GU hit a couple open looks early, CSM moves into a press.
4:09: 15-5 CSM. Flames went on quite a run and sophomore guard Lynsey Curran has a hot touch with two quick 3's.
2:45: 15-5 CSM. no baskets but accelerated pace for both teams with CSM trapping wings.
2:22: 15-6 as Grace's Marisa Brown hits one of two free throws.
End 1st: 23-6 CSM.
Flames went on a tear in the final 5 minutes. Tons of 2nd and 3rd chances. Current scoring leader is CSM's Tyler Sumpter, with 9.
Second Quarter
8:40: 28-6 CSM. Flames sink 3 free throws on a shooting foul and turn it into a trap turnover against Grace's Karen Orozco.
6:47: 31-9 CSM. Grace trying to get aggressive in the paint and drawing a few fouls, but unable to finish with contact.
6:21: 31-9 CSM. Timeout CSM after teams share a couple turnovers.
5:43: 31-9 CSM, 1 total shot between the two teams in the last minute+, just can't hold on to the ball.
4:20: 38-9 CSM. Flames end drought with an open 3 and a layup on another possession extended by offensive rebounds.
3:11: 38-9 CSM. Grace calls timeout after some sloppy play. Grace has switched from 3-2 to 2-3 likely to compensate for the short bench. CSM has been in man the whole game.
1:45: 43-13 CSM. You can see the wear on the short-benched Grace. Mental mistakes leading to fast break layups.
Halftime: 47-17
Half Time: CSM 47 - 17 Grace
College of St Mary is doing almost everything right tonight. The Flames are shooting 42% from the field and 44% from long range. They are currently a perfect 5-5 at the line. CSM also has extended quite a few possessions with 11 offensive rebounds.
Grace has struggled putting together their offense, turning over the ball 17 times in the first 20 minutes. Marisa Brown is the team's main highlight, with 6 rebounds to go with 6 points.
College of Saint Mary has been very successful with their limited use of the trap in the corners and at mid-court. Grace has been trying to run through the high post but most of those passes are getting deflected as well.
Game Leaders:
Points: CSM Tyler Sumpter, 15
Rebounds: CSM Lacey Knudsen, 8
Assists: CSM 4 tied with 2
Turnovers: GU Karen Orozco, 5
Steals: CSM Tyler Sumpter, 3
Third Quarter
7:45: 50-17 CSM. A corner 3 is the only points of the half, Orozco turns the ball over again. Grace has three so far this quarter.
5:46: 53-24 CSM. Flames coach Flanagan not happy with the effort of his starting 5 and subbed them all out.
4:05: 57-27 CSM. Flames' Keona Cadore going to the line from transition layup attempt, hits one of two.
End 3rd: 66-31 CSM.
Not a clean quarter for CSM. Rushed shots or bad finishes, but Flames pull away just a bit further anyway.
Fourth Quarter
8:16: 68-36 CSM. Missed opportunity for Grace on a steal and fast break layup. CSM got fired up once again by some pretty passing. Grace responds with 2nd chance points.
6:30: 70-36 CSM. Timeout Grace. CSM has been taking advantage of tired and confused defense leading to backdoor baskets. Grace switches to 2-3 zone to compensate.
6:02: 73-36 CSM. Flames make Grace pay for 2-3 zone switch with wide open three.
4:36: 77-36 CSM. More open looks from the wing thanks to the 2-3 zone.
4:18: 77-37 CSM. Grace hits 1 of 2 at the line after drawing a foul on a fast break layup.
2:49: 80-37 CSM. Grace calls TO after another open three. Looking at a shorter roster presumably to offset the swing passes.
1:31: 86-39 CSM. Flames' Amy Talavou has been tearing it up in the post.
Final: 89-46 CSM.
Recap to come.
