The Lady Squires lost a hard fought battle tonight against Rochester 55-56. The game was back and forth most of the night. The ladies got themselves down as many as 9 in the second quarter but took the lead back by one at halftime. After halftime, Manchester held the lead the majority of the third quarter, but Rochester hit the shots they needed to keep it close. With a 4-point lead going into the fourth quarter, Manchester got in early foul trouble and put Rochester on the free throw line. Rochester look the lead for much of the 4th but within the last 2 minutes of the game, their were multiple lead changes as both teams traded buckets. Rochester had what would be the final bucket with 8 seconds left to go. Manchester executed their one last opportunity out of the timeout, and Peyton Ream had a great look, followed by another opportunity from an offensive rebound from Ava Sautter. The ladies ended the season 13-11 and we are very proud of their heart and effort all season. Ava Sautter-6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals Peyton Ream-11 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals Olivia Stevens-6 points, 4 assists Hadley West-12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals Elin Betten-6 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal Allie Egolf-2 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal Emma Walker-12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 2 steals
