Results from Peru for Saturday, January 7th
The Tigers welcomed the Delphi Oracles to Tig-Arena for a non-conference matchup Saturday for their third game in 4 days and came out with a hard fought 35-33 win.
The game was a back and forth battle with both teams fighting fatigue from tough Friday night matchups. The Tigers overcame shooting 15% for the game by rebounding well and playing solid defense. Ultimately the game was won at the free throw line where the Tigers hit 14/18 free throws and then made two key defensive stops to deny the Oracles and close out the victory.
The Tigers were lead offensively by Brianna Bennett with 16 points, 3 assists, and 3 steals. Cameryn Raber had 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist. Brooklyn Garner had 5 points, 7 rebounds, 1 blocked shot, and 1 steal. Emma Eldridge had 4 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals. Kaylene Kirk had 2 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, and 2 steals. Maddie Nordman had 2 points and 1 rebound. Addison Robbins had 4 rebounds. Emily Ream had 1 rebound and 1 steal.
The Tigers are now 7-9 overall. The Tigers will resume TRC play next week and welcome the Manchester Squires to Tig-Arena Tuesday. This will be a full JV and Varsity contest with the JV tip-off set for 6:15pm with Varsity to follow.
