"We did a great job of battling a lot of adversity, and we had a tough time getting to the line tonight," Skyline coach Keith Wade said. "We had a chance with a few minutes left to make some plays and win the game, but we just didnt make those plays and couldn't come away with the win."

"We were able to really pressure them in the halfcourt and we forced quite a few turnovers that we were able to capitalize on," said Lincoln coach Mike Foley.

"The system we run really doesn't allow one player to dominate the game. We want balance, so when the pressure is on, we aren't relying on one person."

Sarah Tubbs led Ypsilanti Willow Run (3-4) with 21 points, while Julia Holston added 10.

“Sarah is certainly one of our most competitive and aggressive players,” Willow Run coach Cliff Russell said. “She has no quit in her and I think tonight that came together. She dictated the play much of the night, and her scoring had a lot to do with her aggressiveness when taking the ball to the basket.”

“We were up by a lot in the first quarter and let it get away from us,” Greenhills coach Rachel Cortis said. “I got the girls heads back in the game, and we were fine though the third and fourth quarter. We got back to the basics, tweaked some fundamentals, and then we were fine.”
