WISCONSIN AAU STATE TOURNAMENT
15u CHAMPIONSHIP
UW Stout, Menomonie, WI
TEAM WISCONSIN SELECT 60, WBA PRESTIGE 34


Team Wisconsin Select got off to a torrid start leading 26-7 en route to a 60-34 victory in the Wisconsin AAU State championships over WBA Prestige.

Erin Frase started off with two 3s in the first three possessions to jump start TWS. She soon added another 3 that kicked off an eight straight scoring sequence and a 18-3 run. Prestige had no fire extinguisher for the blazing hot TWS. Prestige had a six possession drought during the same time. Prestige took a time out at 22-7, but it didn't change the course of the game. TWS cooled off in the later half of the first frame. Prestige actually outscored TWS 12-5 to finish the half. TWS had to burn a time out at 29-17 after a three point steal lay up and foul by Ashley Green. It was 31-19 TWS at the break.

The second half saw more of the same. There was one two minute sequence that electrified the fans. TWS was up 41-25 when Jessica Waldvogel (a gbbrecruit newcomer of the week) came off the bench for the first time. She immediately paid dividends with her denial defense and passing. She also scored too. Then it was back to the bench. When she was on the floor TWS upped its total with a 10-0 run to make it 51-25. As the 16 or Junior Eligible championship was on the other court we left the game with the score 57-30. TWS took the title 60-34.
