East Sac at Manson NW Webster
Manson NW Webster 39
East Sac 27
The East Sac Raiders saw their season come to an end after being pressured all game long against Manson NW Webster’s defense in Saturday’s first round regional playoff game.
The Cougars came out in a 3-2 zone defense and kept that all game long, forcing the Raiders to make pressured shots. While the Cougars got their offense off to a 13-0 scoring run, the Raiders closed out the quarter thanks to Makenna Steiger’s two three pointers toward the end of the quarter. Manson NW Webster was able to stay ahead with three-three pointers from Mykaela Stuhrenberg, Paige Condon, and Chloe Peterson as they led 13-7 after the first quarter. East Sac started to pass the ball much more in the second quarter, in an attempt to draw the defense away and get some looks from the three-point line. Steiger was able to hit another three pointer and the East Sac defense was able to defend the basket a bit better at times. The Cougars had similar success passing and finding open lanes to the hoop with Stuhrenberg putting up four points in the quarter. The Cougars held on to a 23-14 lead at halftime. Steiger led the Raiders with nine points in the first half.
It was much of the same in the second half with Manson NW Webster continuing to apply pressure with their 2-3 zone defense and full court pressure. East Sac started to draw fouls on the Cougars and went four of four from the free throw line but was only able to score five points outside of those free throws. Meredith Brown and Carly Fischer were both aggressive on their rebounds in this game, with Brown leading the team with six boards. The Raiders stayed close with the Cougars in the third but were still behind by a score of 33-23. Manson NW Webster did a lot of stalling in the majority of the fourth quarter and continued to force East Sac to turnover the ball. The Raiders were getting open looks from beyond the arc but could not drain many of them. With the Cougars running out a big portion of the game clock, they were able to come away with the win over East Sac 39-27.
The Raiders season comes to an end with a final record of 6-16.
