#2 Conner runs their win streak to 15 games with the road win at Holy Cross.

Per a Conner parent via text, the game was 11 at half, HC cut it to 5, and the Conner got it back between 8-13 the rest of the way.

Also, per same parent, so don't shoot the messenger if incorrect, Holy Cross knocked off the Cougars in the Freshmen and JV games.

You're information was correct. Holy Cross won both the Freshman and JV games. The assessment of the varsity game was also correct. After the game was tied at 9-9 midway through the 1st quarter Conner went on a 13-0 run and never really looked back. Holy Cross made a few runs but could not get closer than 5 points. Conner has a really nice team and play well together. They aren't very deep (maybe 2 subs off bench played) but was very impressed with them. The Indians did a great job guarding Hamilton in my opinion but was still impressed by her play. She is going to be a handful the next two years!

You're the best, @Baseball Nut 24, THANKS!!

@Baseball Nut 24is spot on as usual.
 

I think both teams showed very early that someone other then Hunt or Hamilton was going to have to step up to beat their respective teams.  
Hunt was double, some times triple teamed every time she touched the ball down low and Hamilton was pretty much face guarded full court for the majority of the game.

Hunt draws so much attention that the Indians can be a really dangerous team if they are making shots! Last night they just didn’t fall for HC and Conner just had to much help around Hamilton!
 

Good Luck to both teams rest of the season!

Excellent summary of the game. I'm a Holy Cross guy but was impressed seeing Conner for the first time this season. If Holy Cross makes shots they can hang in there with anyone.
