I wasn't expecting that given the way the first half went.  

Same, I thought Hendo was going to win it.  You have to give DCA a lot of credit. 

SHA has missed 14 shots and lead by 11.

The ball handler for DCA is impressive.

SHA vs. DCA in tomorrow's 1:30 semifinal.

There are a literal handful of 9th Region teams that would beaten Mercy last night, there are zero of them that would have beaten SHA tonight.  

Tough draw, to be sure. 

Congrats to Coach Holthaus and the Lady Jags on another great season, and to Noel on a brilliant evening.  She has two big years ahead of her.
