LADY FISHERMEN HOLD OFF COMETS FOR THIRD WIN
Lanie Kary scored all nine of Ilwaco's points in the fourth quarter, including two key baskets in the final 90 seconds as the Lady Fishermen defeated Naselle 49-46 at Aase Gymnasium Thursday night.
A pair of free throws by Kary gave Ilwaco a 42-32 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Naselle closed to within three points on an Erin Saari free throw with 1:54 remaining. Saari swiped the ball from Ilwaco's Bonnie Perez on the next possession, but could not convert on the end of a fast break. Off the rebound, Kary was wide open downcourt for a layin to give the Lady Fishermen a 47-42 lead. Saari squeezed a pass inside to Colette Beaulaurier, who scored with 1:11 left to make it a one possession game again, but Ilwaco was able to run the shot clock to one second before Allison Brooks fed Kary inside for a close range bucket to make it 49-44 Ilwaco. Kellyn Pakenen drew a foul with 32 seconds left, but missed both free throws and the Comets ran out of time as Cheryl Steppe picked up the final points of the game on a rebound putback as time expired.
Anna Kitzman led all scorers, picking up 14 of her game-high 20 points in the first half and scoring all six of Ilwaco's third quarter points. The Lady Fishermen turned the ball over 13 times in the third quarter, but Naselle was only able to convert five points off the turnovers as the Comets gave the ball up 11 times in the period.
Kary finished with 18 points for Ilwaco.
Cheryl Steppe had team-highs of 17 points and seven rebounds for Naselle. Saari had six assists and five steals to go with nine points. The Comets played without Brandi Keightley, who broke the pinkie finger on her left hand in P.E. class.
The Comets (0-2) travel to Seaside tonight to take on the 2-1 Seagulls. Ilwaco hosts Seaside on Monday in a game that will be broadcast live on SportsRadio 1230 ESPN.
