The Tigers jumped to a quick 7-0 lead after two minutes making their first three shots. They then missed 17 of their next 19 shots as Morton/White Pass pulled within three points at 12-9 with 4:30 remaining in the first half. Napavine led 19-9 at the half.
Morton / White Pass stayed within shouting distance (30-18) getting outscored 11-9 in the third quarter as they limited the Tigers to just 2 of 11 shooting from the floor (Napavine converted 7 of 11 free throws in the quarter).
The T-Wolves closed the gap to 11 points (35-24) with four minutes left in the game after a Chelbi Eveland free throw. From that point on Napavine made 9 of 10 field goals scoring 18 points in the final 3:57 of the game. The Tigers went 11 of 14 from the floor overall in the quarter for 23 points after scoring just 30 through the first three frames.
“This was a fun game to be a part of,” coach Lauren Kanyer said. “We blocked out extremely well and took Napavine out of their offense. Unfortunately, late in the game they hit some shots and put it out of reach.”
Freshman Whitney Elledge (4 of 8 shooting) and Eveland (4 of 9) each scored nine points in the loss, with Eveland adding a career-best 10 rebounds. Maddy McCoy nailed two second half three-pointers off the bench to finish with six points. Ashley Kelly (six rebounds) added four points and Darian Atkinson one. Stefana Bertucci grabbed six of Morton/White Pass’ 32 rebounds.
“It was nice to see Maddy come off the bench and hit a couple of three-pointers,” Kanyer said.
