This game started out very tight with Solna playing like the disciplined team they are. Solna led by five points early and the game was tied at 12. K-State then began a slow pull away that just built as the game went on. The good news was that Kimmery Newsom had a fine game at guard and we got excellent play from our other reserves including Amy Dutmer and Jessica McFarland. The bad news was that was everyone we had! Eight better be enough. Kimmery had one play that was highlight film quality. She drove the lane and put up a beautiful agressive shot on a contested lay-up. The fans loved it. We know we need Kimmery to step up and its great to see her do it. You go girl!
As we watched the warm ups the light came on in our heads that Chelsea Domenico was not on the floor. She was dressed in a warm up suit and ON CRUTCHES! That was a sight I really did not want to see. Koehn and Newsom are the only "guards" we have without Domenico. Coach Patterson started her "BIG" line-up with Ohlde, Wecker, Koehn, Mahoney and Madden. Sort of a one guard and four forwards deal, or one 5'8" guard along with some really tall guards. Once the team got used to it and settled down they started to work well with that line-up. Mahoney, of course, did play guard and in fact did run the point part of the game.
I don't know what the deal is with Chelsea but it did not look good. She was not putting any weight on her left foot at all. I hope she will be back on the floor soon.
Oh, and yeah, Wecker scored 31 along with 10 rebounds, five assists, four steals and a block. Ohlde had 22 points and 14 rebounds. Koehn scored 21 plus five rebounds and two assists. Mahoney's line was 11 points, 11 assists, and six rebounds. Everybody scored at least six points.
Attendance was 6,375.
