Final Score: Germany 53- USA 65
This was the final chapter of pool play and a great ending for us. We started out strong and kept our lead throughout. At the half the score was 29-20 us. A great start. Unfortunately, the third quarter was not great for us. We let Germany come within two.
The Germans are strong and big and were coming after us like mad women. Christina has a black eye, nearly had her arm torn off, and I swear at one point there were Germans flying at us from every angle. It was a very physical game overall...we held our own and weren't giving in. Steph fouled out and I played the final minute with 4...ugh!!!
Here's what I looked like after the game...
But we pulled it out and our 4th quarter was great! In the end Chris had 24 points, Becca had 16, and I had 8...yay!!! It was a great showing for all of us, but I tell you what Wisconsin is where it's at (Chris and Becca are both from Wisconsin....so you know??)
Our defense was solid and our offense was on...so now onto the Crossover...and here's how it plays out:
USA (1) vs. Great Britain (4)
Germany (2) vs. Netherlands (3)
Australia (1) vs. China (4)
Canada (2) vs. Japan (3)
I have NO idea what the schedule is, but we play at some point on the 14th. We have tomorrow off...well minus practice and probably video. I think we might go on a boat tour on the canal and I am probably going to try for the mall (shocking...I know).
My brothers got here today...and I am thrilled!! I even managed to get a family photo in today...craziness.
The team is headed to a Robert Cray concert tonight (I think that's how you spell his name) or maybe a movie, but you never know!
