9-14, 19-20, 28-35, 33-47

"I was proud of the girls. We were hanging around until the last three minutes," Coach Hall said."It was 38-33 with under four minutes to go when Greenland started holding the ball. We didn't score any at the end and they made nine points."

Hall said the Lady Pirates got in foul trouble by the second half and played their second team a lot.

"Their second team played good defense and we never could separate from them," Coach said.

But at the end, Greenland was 17 of 23 from the line, shooting 18 free throws the second half to Eureka's four.

5-2, 6-15, 10-26, 17-36

"Greenland is good, and we only hit three field goals all night," Coach Hall said. "We have shot poorly in back-to-back games. We took good shots, were open underneath, but they didn't fall, and we didn't play good defense after the first quarter. It was our first conference loss."

Scoring- ES- Katie Wallace- 6; Hannah Milligan- 3; 2's- Jane Soriano, Andi Hamilton, Emily Deitchler, Clare McCormick.
