Season record: 3-4

Northstars tournament in Hartford, CT

Synopsis: It was a good weekend for the U11 girls. We played in Hartford at the Northstars tournament and went 3-1. The first game against Willington was tight until a late surge in the 2nd half pushed our girls ahead 37-24. High Scorer: Natalie (8). Game two that day was against the Windsor Warriors. This game allowed us to play our bench more and really give them some quality minutes. Final was 45-23. High Scorer: Kyla (8). Sunday brought us an early 8:30 game against the Northstars. Our girls played very good defense and started to look better on offense. Final score was 48-8. High Scorer: Kyla (10). The last game of the weekend was the best one. We played a very good, smart and precise Western Mass Cheetahs squad and it was a back and forth game from tip to buzzer. The Cheetahs did a better job of holding down their turnovers and took the game from us 46-42. High Scorer: Paige (12). Most Outstanding Player of the weekend is a tie between Paige and Shayla. Paige was absolutely terrific on the boards and was the 2nd leading scorer in 2 of the other 3 games. What Shayla did this weekend doesn't always reflect in the box score but she kept us under control running the point and did a fantastic job rebounding while playing her always outstanding defense. Honorable Mention goes to Kyla, Natalie and Johyna.
