MINNESOTA SEEDING TOURNAMENT
at Bloomington Kennedy
16 Quarterfinals
MN STARS BOROWICZ 66, MN STARS ECKMANN 38
Another quarterfinal game that did not hold drama in the final score. The d
rama came in the fact that it was a civil war game on two levels--all in the family. #1. It was a Stars family match up and #2. it was an Eckmann family match up. Daughter Rachelle Eckmann plays with MSB while father Tom coaches MSE.
As with most of the teams today both were hit by prom season and weather. Brittany Chambers and Leah Dietel were both gone at prom, while the post contingent for MSE either were at prom or snowed in (yes I said the S word).
MSE was competitive early as they led 13-12 after a Kellie Ring lay up. After that MSB outscored MSE 26-4 the last 9 minutes of the first half as MSB pulled away to a 38-17 half time lead. MSE had a 12 possession drought with 7 ending in turnovers.
