Lady Tornadoes Fell In 2A State Semifinal Game, 57-60

After making school history with their first-ever state tournament victory, the Eureka Lady Tornadoes returned to the court in semifinal action to face the tournament’s top seed, the Ellinwood Eagles. From the opening tip, it was clear Eureka would face a major size disadvantage.

Despite the height mismatch, the Lady Tornadoes controlled the opening tip. However, it took several possessions before either team found the scoreboard. Finally, Brenna Rucker grabbed one of her 17 rebounds and quickly pushed the ball ahead to Britta Mongeau, who streaked down the court for a layup to get Eureka on the board.
