Girls League Rundown - Week 2

Dynasty 48, Rising Stars 36

An undersized but deceptively strong Dynasty squad was able to wear down an undermanned Rising Stars team with constant full-court man-to-man pressure en route to a night-opening win. After trailing 23-22 at halftime, Dynasty held Rising Stars to 13 points and just 3 made field goals after halftime. Altogether, Rising Stars went just 10/43 from the field and 2/17 from the 3 point line. Julia DeBeatham (Shaker 2020) had her breakout game of the early summer, leading all scorers with 15 points, including 3 threes. Paige Brinkman (Schalmont 2018), Dynasty's tallest player in uniform at 6'0", had a game high 11 rebounds. Kelsey Wood (Averill Park 2020) paced Rising Stars with 11 points and 8 rebounds.

Show Stoppers 52, Lockdown 29

Using a big 2nd half push, Show Stoppers were able to turn a competitive game into a blowout late. Although they led from wire-to-wire, Lockdown remained within striking distance until there were under 10 minutes remaining.

After giving up most of a large early lead, Next Level was able to pull away as the 2nd half went on to get their 2nd win of the season. They knocked down 5 threes in the early going and led by as much as 17 in the 1st half before a perimeter onslaught from Too Easy's Alyssa Waters (Beekmantown 2018) helped bring Too Easy back to within 4 early in the 2nd half. Waters hit 4 threes and led all scorers with 16 points, all coming in the first 25 minutes of the game. 5 of the 7 players in uniform scored 9 or more points for Next Level, led by Sophie Wittenbeck (Waterville 2018), who hit 4 threes and finished with 14 points.

Outwork 49, Upstate Select 43

Outwork used a massive rebounding edge and sound free throw shooting to overcome low numbers and a mid-game injury en route to an early W. Despite Canisius commit Lauraine Joensen going down after rolling her ankle late in the 1st half - she would sit out for the rest of the game, but play in the next game - Outwork went on a spurt in the 2nd to gain an 8 point lead and maintain breathing room through the final buzzer. Madison Little (Mount Anthony Union (VT) 2017) had a big game for Outwork, as the 5'9" guard finished with game highs of 19 points and 13 rebounds. She also hit all 4 of her 2nd half free throws - Outwork shot 12/13 as a team and held a 41-18 rebounding advantage over Upstate Select. Chloe Chaffin (Kingston 2018) scored 6 of her 11 points in that 2nd half run, and she also added 8 rebounds. Caitlin Estes (Scotia-Glenville 2017) made her EST debut and finished with a team high 13 on 5/10 shooting for Upstate Select, and EST & AAU teammate Olivia Baumann (Guilderland 2017) added 12 points and 5 rebounds.

Outwork 72, Rising Stars 62

In a game that was marked with fatigue, with both teams playing their 2nd of a back-to-back with limited bodies to utilize, Outwork was able to score early & often and lead wire-to-wire en route to a 2nd straight victory. It was a game of runs that Rising Stars was able to cut close into on two separate occasions, but Outwork had the answer when needed. After jumping out to a 20-5 lead in the 1st half, Rising Stars cut it to within 37-34 late in the 1st half. Outwork responded by scoring the next 14 points, including a 12-0 run to start the 2nd half, to bump their lead to 17. A three from Kyra Oeffler (Heatly 2018) stopped the run and was Rising Stars' first points of the 2nd half over 5 minutes in, but it proved to start a 12-2 run that Oeffler ended with another jumper to make it 53-46. Out of an ensuing timeout, Outwork went on a 10-0 run to push the lead back to 17 and effectively put the game out of reach. Madison Little (Mount Anthony Union (VT) 2017) continued with her strong day, scoring a team high 21 points and adding 6 rebounds. Three others scored in double figures for Outwork; Kingston 2018 Chloe Chaffin (13 pts, 7 rebs, 5 asts), Northampton (MA) 2017 and Canisius commit Lauraine Joensen (12 pts, 9 rebs), and Mekeel 2018 Rebekkah Dean (11 pts, 7 rebs). Ava Fitzmaurice (Greenville 2018) had a breakout 2nd game, scoring a game and night-high 24 points, which also proved to be an EST career high for the 2 year veteran. One of last year's top 3 point shooters showed the range again, as 15 of her 24 came off 5 threes. The aforementioned Kyra Oeffler added 13 points with 9 coming from beyond the arc, and Brianna Legacy (Mount Anthony Union (VT) 2017) finished with a night-high 9 assists.

Outwork (3-1): Rebekkah Dean 11, Lyndsey McCoy 4, Madison Little 21, Lauraine Joensen 12, Chloe Chaffin 13, Mikyla Mitchell 8, Anna Iannotti 3. Totals: 31-6-72.

Dynasty 48, Upstate Select 37

Another game that Upstate Select was within striking distance throughout, but never able to close the gap. Dynasty took an early lead and held on throughout, slowly wearing Select down throughout the game using what's becoming their trademark full court man-to-man defense. The lead was single digits for Dynasty most of the way, but a late collection of easy buckets around the rim helped their lead swell to 15 late. Julianna Taylor (Fonda-Fultonville 2017) had a strong outing for the winners, shooting 6/9 from the field and finishing with a game high 13 points. Lexi DeBeatham (Shaker 2018) and Lauren Obermayer (Columbia 2019) added 9 points apiece, and Kaitlyn Bjelko (Beekmantown 2018) contributed a game high 10 rebounds.

Assists: Dynasty 11 (Cairns 6), Upstate Select 10 (Irwin 5).


Lockdown 60, Next Level 35

It was a role reversal at Court 2 for the 8:00 game, as Lockdown - who lost by 20+ earlier in the night - won by 20+ over a Next Level squad coming off a 20+ point win in the previous game. It was an early onslaught of missed defensive assignments and inability to get back for Next Level that turned into easy Lockdown buckets in the first half. They jumped out to a 15-5 lead early in the game, which worked its way up to 32-14 at halftime. Addy Sackett (Delaware Academy 2017) led all scorers with 17 points off 6/10 shooting from the field, and Julie Ford (Cooperstown 2018) had her best game of the summer thus far, contributing 16 points and a game high 15 rebounds. Anna VanRoy (Saugerties 2019) contributed 8 points, and heady point guard Logan Bruce (Delaware Academy 2018) had a game high 6 assists to go with her 5 points & 5 rebounds. Grace Heeps (Columbia 2019) had a team high 9 points to go with 7 rebounds, and Ally Crosby (Hammond 2018) had team highs of 11 rebounds & 4 blocks to go with 6 points. Next Level shot just over 20% from the field for the game, at 10/49.

Show Stoppers 47, Too Easy 27

It was a nightmare game shooting from the start for Too Easy, and by the time shots started to fall, it was far too little, too late. A 4/27 performance from the field in Game 2 of a back-to-back pushed them down double digits in the 1st half, and although Show Stoppers' shooting performance wasn't their finest, the defensive effort was able to carry them to a 2nd straight 20 point win. After leading 25-11 at halftime, Show Stoppers quickly scored 9 out of the first 11 in the 2nd half, pushing the lead to 34-13 with under 15 minutes remaining, and Too Easy remained scoreless for an over 9 minute 2nd half stretch before Kenna Guynup (Beekmantown 2017) hit a three to end the drought. Show Stoppers' margin remained 20+ until a late barrage of threes from Too Easy slimmed the deficit to 16. In her EST debut, Emily Frodyma (Catholic Central 2018) earned her spot on Show Stoppers for the remainder of the season by finishing with a game high 13 points. The scrappy guard also tallied 9 rebounds and helped Show Stoppers to a 53-30 rebounding edge. Shyla Sanford (Shaker 2018) contributed 11 points, 3 boards, 3 assists, and 5 steals, and they also received solid statistical contributions from Amsterdam 2017 Nina Fedullo (8 pts, 10 rebs) and Jamesville-Dewitt 2017 Julia Kelner (6 pts, 15 rebs). Tara Sager (Ichabod Crane 2017) led Too Easy with 9 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks, and the aforementioned Kenna Guynup had 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 steals.
