LADY FISHERMEN FEND OFF BRAVES
With some clutch free throw shooting in the final period, the Astoria Lady Fishermen secured their second straight victory with a 35-29 win at Banks.
Both teams struggled to make baskets, but junior guard Sara Cullen took care of nearly all of Astoria's offense in the final period, scoring seven of their eight points at the free throw line, as the Fishermen hit 8-of-10 at the stripe in the final period to secure the victory.
Cullen led Astoria with 11 points, with K.J. Carr adding 10 points and five rebounds and Kristina Wilson contributing nine points, five steals and four blocks to go with three assists. Astoria played without junior guard Jennifer Stephens who stayed home sick.
"We had opportunities to open up a lead," said Astoria head coach Gordon Thomson, "but we couldn't finish."
The Fishermen were just 11-for-43 from the field in the game, but fortunately Banks didn't do any better.
"It was not the prettiest of basketball games this evening," said Thomson, "but we were able to go on the road and get a win."
The Fishermen evened their Cowapa League record at 2-2 and improved to 11-8 overall heading into their Clatsop Clash Cowapa League matchup at Seaside Friday night. The game will be broadcast live on KAST-AM, 1370, starting at 5:30 p.m., followed by the boys varsity game at approximately 7:15 p.m.
