In the second quarter, TSD girls found our rhythm with several fast break opportunities and held a one-point lead, 17-16, going into halftime. Both teams played evenly in the third quarter and the game was tied at 30 as we started the 4th quarter. Faith West came away with a few steals and made shot opportunities. Our defense began wearing down as Faith West continued finding their way to the rim and drawing fouls. Offensively, we began forcing bad passes which led to turnovers.
