On an overcast and cold Friday afternoon, the Lady Lobos played their second game of the week against the Tulalip Lady Hawks and succumbed in points 42-59. By the third quarter, the Lady Hawks led 24-13, but the Lady Lobos came out prepared to hustle. Sarah Stanley and Lira Dalton each had three 3-pointers in the third quarter, and at one point Dalton scooped the ball out of the key in a scrappy move and literally shoved it through the hoop. Lady Lobo defense as well, was tougher; Lady Lobos crawled all over the Tulalip Lady Hawks, forcing turnovers near the field goal that led to more lucrative points for the Lopez team. Lexy Ogden came in and pushed for rebounds, setting up nice lay ins for the Lady Lobos.

Several times DeGraaf tore down the court and in text-book layups put it in for the Lady Lobos. The Lopez team scored well on their free throws, putting in much better percentages and taking the opportunity to get points wherever they could. Moira Crawford helped the Lady Lobos defensively as well as offensively, by staying on her guard and refusing to give in to an aggressive defense.

Vilina Sanborn-Bill came in and dove for the ball out of bounds, saving the play and Brooke Schober took several confident shots at the field goal as well. Though the Ladies succumbed in the final score, their scoring drive throughout the game displayed impressive vigor and persistence.

The Lady Lobos played again Feb. 2 against North Sound Christian at Lopez High School.
