Lady Tigers Fall Just Short In Tourney Final Loss

Warsaw came within a bounce of winning the Lady Tiger Classic, but that Carom didn’t go the way of the home team in a 40-39 loss to Chesterton in the title game at the Tiger Den. The Lady Tigers held a 37-34 lead with 1:32 to go. The Chesterton comeback began when Sarah Dzierba had a prayer answered in the paint, then Maddie Scott converted both ends of a one-and-one to grab the lead for the Lady Trojans. After a Warsaw turnover, Kaylee Patton had to foul Courtney Krol, who hit both free throws with 12.4 seconds to play. After a timeout, Maddie Ryman went coast-to-coast uncontested to cut the lead to one with 6.3 seconds left. Warsaw then got a much-needed turnover when an inbounds pass bounced off a Chesterton player and out of play. After a timeout, Ryman took the inbounds pass and dribbled between the circles, where she was double-teamed. She found Patton to her left, and she fired a three that bounced off the back iron at the buzzer.
