The Morrison Fillies added another win to the early season record, but needed an extra four minutes to finish off the Orion, IL, Chargers on Monday night, December 1, 2014, in Morrison, IL.
Lakin Goodman scored nine of her game-high, 20 points in the first quarter as the Fillies jumped out to a 15-7 lead.
Second quarter action saw the Chargers sneak back, to go in at halftime with a 31-30 advantage.
The Orion defense only allowed the Fillies three baskets in the second half, but the Fillies survived from the free throw line. They were awarded ten to Orion’s none and connected on six-of-the-ten, to send the game into a four minute overtime.
Again, the free throw became the deciding factor. The Fillies made five-of-eight tries in the extra period. Aided by a three-pointer by Goodman and baskets by Emma Sitzmore and Ashley Greul, the Mmorison girls sealed the win at 50-45.
Orion 7 – 15 – 9 – 7 – 7 = 45
Morison 15 – 10 – 5 – 8 – 12 = 50
