Victory

We had a game this past Sunday. It was a very exciting win for us! The team we played was a very good team in our league. They had players with a lot of experience at the top leagues in Europe. We battled hard throughout the game and went into halftime with the game tied at 37. I was able to get to the rim and hit most of my jumpers as well, so that felt good.

The 3rd quarter however started a little off for the Pavia team (us). We found ourselves slipping behind as the quarter progressed. We were just missing some shots and had a few turnovers. I think we were down by 14 at the start of the 4th quarter, but we kept our confidence and we believed in ourselves. We kept fighting and battled our way back halfway through the quarter. We put on a press and got three consecutive steals to take the lead 69-68 with about 5 minutes to go. We continued this effort to cap off our run with a 91-81 win. It was a great victory for us as many players stepped up and hit big shots, free throws, and also got big defensive stops.

This game was especially fun to play well in because my parents were here visiting and got to see me play.

I have to go now though because they are still here and we want to spend the time together. Talk to you soon!
