LADY AVS HOLD OFF KNIGHTS
 In the evening’s other game, defending champions Lady
Avalanche were given a scare as they defeated the Naldi
Lady Knights 56-35 at the same venue.
Olivia Bowen led the Avs with 16 points while
Mahavia Findlator had 11 of her own and reigning
league MVP Nicole Dias added 10.
Shadian Hemmings was the standout for the Lady Knights
with 16 points while Alicia Dawkins contributed 11
points.
Lady Avs jumped out of the gates early in the first
quarter. Terrible passing from the Knights saw them
struggle to get through their offensive sets as the Lady
Avs applied double and triple-teams. By the end of the
first period, the score was 16-4 in favor of Lady Avs.
The second quarter was identical to that of the first;
Lady Avs outscored their opponents by 12 points to
increase their lead to 35-11 by half-time.
Knights came out in the third quarter with all guns
blazing, going on an early six to nothing run in an
eager effort to close the wide chasm. While they led the
third quarter 12-8 it was not enough to dent Lady Avs’
overall lead.
By now the lead was way in favor of the defending
champions but give Lady Knights’ they never gave up and
had another good quarter only losing by a mere point
13-12.
Action will continue this Sunday as the top four teams
advance to the Knockout semi-final round.
