What a great weekend we had! The Pioneers fought back from 13 down to win 55-54 against Rockford College this past Friday! Tolu Alabi (2nd year/Nigeria) sank the winning free throw... rather she BANKED the winning free throw with less than 20 seconds to go in the game.
Although we lost against Dominican on Saturday the Pioneers showed a lot of heart and fought from over 20 down to end the game with an 11 point deficit. Dominican shot the lights out during the weekend and proved to be the best team at the tournament. I was pleased with the Pioneers determination and saw the team effort as being very strong.
Point guard Brianna Gallo (Sr/Grinnell) was named to the All-Tournament team after two great performances. On Saturday Bri finished the game with eleven points and three steals.
After the tournament we had a delicious team meal at the Scharf's home in Johnsburg, IL. Thanks to Mike and Maureen for being such gracious hosts!
