Lady Eagles get fired up for a recent game. Look at the craziness in their eyes.
The Lady Eagles of Turlock Christian, ranked 2nd in the Sac-Joaquin Section in Division 5, faced the Waterford Wildcats on Thursday night in Waterford. The Eagles once again used a superior defense to pound an opponent in the opening quarter. With an agressive press and an over-playing man to man the girls opened the game with a 15 to 6 1st quarter and continued to out score the Wildcats in every quarter. The final score of 69-32 was the highest output by TC during Southern League play this season. The offense was led by Molly Farrar's 17 points and 47% shooting and Amy Wright's 14 points. The defense continued to dominate Southern League opponents as they snagged 34 defensive rebounds, stoled the ball 15 times and blocked 6 shots. Team play continues to improve as the the scoring, rebounds and assists are spread evenly throughout the team. The victory gave the Lady Eagles a 5-0 record after the first of the triple round robins, now having beating every team in the league. Tonight's game vs LeGrand is a critical league contest that could determine the eventual Southern League champion. Come out an see two very good teams fight it out.
Outstanding individual defensive preformances included;
Defensive Rebounds: Amy Wright (11), Kaisa Spycher (5), and Molly Zuhlke (4)
Steals: Kara Gabrielson, Natalie Synder, and Molly Farrar (3 each)
Great job in the first round as the Eaglettes (JV) went 3 and 2. Way to go players, coaches, and fans:-)
The Modesto Bee had a nice article on Saturday about Thursday's game vs Waterford:
