Faced with playing Albany back to back, Worth County’s girls overcame 24 turnovers to beat the Warriors again as three Tigers reached double figures. Albany came in playing much better, putting more pressure on the ball and speeding Worth County up. They forced four Tiger turnovers in the first two minutes and jumped out to a 6-3 lead early.
But then Worth County found their footing as Kristin New hit Kaylee McElvain inside and Regan Allee hit two free throws to make it 7-6. Regan Allee got a steal and fed Kristin New and New added a free throw to make it 10-6.
Gabby Newman scored off a steal to make it 10-8, but then Jessi Badell got loose off a Regan Allee drive and Anna Gladstone successfully took on three green shirts after a Kristin New steal to make it 14-8 after one.
It looked like Worth County would pull away after Regan Allee hit consecutive 3-pointers to make it 25-10 with 2:56 left in the second. But then Gabby Newman, who had been held in check the first game, got the hot hand and scored eight in the last 2:30 to bring her team back to within 25-18 at the break.
Worth County fought back to bring the lead up to 15 in the third, only for Newman to get the hot hand again and cut it back to 10. Kaylee McElvain cut inside and got a pass from Kristin new, Regan Allee got a tip and Anna Gladstone got a steal and layup, and Kaylee McElvain got loose after a Jessi Badell offensive glass to make it 31-18. A pair of lapses on defense allowed Albany to cut it to 12, but Kristin New’s backdoor pass to Anna Gladstone made it 38-23. But then the alley oop play to Newman was good for a layup and then Albany got the ball back and lined up as though to set up for a last shot. But Newman hit an NBA 3-pointer instead to make it 38-28.
But then Worth County’s conditioning kicked in and they took much better care of the ball in the fourth quarter. Jessi Badell hit a free throw, Anna Gladstone scored off a drive, Kaylee McElvain got loose on the baseline after another Gladstone drive, and Regan Allee’s drive sprung Badell open to make it 45-28.
Albany chipped away, but then Anna Gladstone hit Kaylee McElvain on the baseline again, Gladstone added a free throw after Jessi Badell got a tip and steal, Gladstone scored again after a Kaylee McElvain steal, and Regan Allee got a steal and pullup to give Worth County its biggest lead of 52-32 at the 1:25 mark.
