MINNESOTA SEEDING TOURNAMENT
at Bloomington Kennedy
14 Championship
FURY HAUGEN 36, MIDTOWN LADY MONARCHS 27
Fury Haugen surprised many by taking the 14 championship beating Midtown Lady Monarchs 36-27. FH lost their first pool play game on Friday to the Suns 42-33, but then won the rest of their contests during the tournament. They beat the Jazz in the pool play 50-34 and then in the quarterfinals beat Metro Stars 49-43, and took MN Stars Collins 50-30 in the semis. MLM dodged Fury Livers in the quarters 51-50, then edged MN Stars Hested 50-47 in the semis.As a spoiler alert I coached Erica Haugen back in the day at Osseo. One of my offensive mantra's back then was lay ups, free throws or 3s. Fury Haugen looked for the 3 ball and used their man defense for the ingredients in their win. FH led early 9-3. Both teams, as you can tell by the score, weren't ripping it up in the pp100 department. Droughts, not severe, but persistent, hit both teams. MLM had a five possession drought during that sequence. MLM tied it at 12 and led 14-12 as 6-2 Bethany Doolittle scored on three straight possessions. It was FH's ti
me for a five possession drought. Sophie Jaskulske answered on the next trip for FH and then scored two possessions later to give FH a lead they would not relinquish. FH led at the half 16-15.FH scored three straight times early in the second half to go up 20-15. But it was the lack of scoring that struck next. MLM had a 1/12 offensive sequence, while FH had a 1/10 sequence. MLM closed to 23-21 with 7:24 left. A three by Amie Tunheim and then a put back on the next FH possession by Alicia Johnson put FH up 28-21. After Tori Rule answered for MLM the droughts struck both teams again. Both had fivers. Jaskulske broke the drought to give FH a 30-23 lead. That started a 4/6 offensive sequence for FH down the stretch to preserve the win.
