After suffering through a hor-'
rendous first 16 minutes, which
left Alvin trailing 24-12 at the
half, the Lady Jackets literally
exploded in third quarter with an
impressive 24-10 run, giving
them a 36-34 lead into the final
period.
"That was definitely one of the
best efforts, I've seen in a single
half," Orsak said. "Not that we
didn't also put together a good
effort in the first half, but we just
couldn't put it in the hole during
that time.”
