Last night, the Lady Canes faced the Trinity Trojans for the second time this season, and unfortunately, they were defeated 68-36.
Senior Marshay Smith started the game by scoring first for Brooklyn. Freshman Delaney David and junior Kelsey Bruzek both made a shot as well.
The Hurricanes held Trinity down and only trailed 10-6 at the end of the first quarter.
Freshman Genesis Caraballo started the second quarter with a basket. Then, fellow freshman Jenna Young made one of her two free throws. Sophomores Gwen Spaliatsos and Savannah David then chipped in with two buckets.
However, Trinity caught fire and led 37-16 at the half.
In the final two quarters, freshman Shariah Gailes scored six points while Bruzek finished a three-point play. Also, Caraballo and David both added to the score, but it was not enough to stage the comeback.
The Lady Trojans were able to break through the Brooklyn zone defense and connect on many shot opportunities ending the game with a 32-point victory.
On the performance, Coach Urig stated, “I thought we played well in stretches, but we had some mental lapses. When the other team cranks up the pressure, we have to be able to withstand it.”
Although the girls lost this game, this will not stop them from working hard as they head into the final week of the regular season. While they have some things to clean up, they will be ready when they host the Independence Blue Devils on Saturday, February 8.
Come out Saturday to support the Lady Canes as they recognize three seniors one last time on the home hardwood: Marshay Smith, Haley Connors, and Alexandra Nieves.
Go Canes!
