Bricker's Late Free Throws Seal Lady Tiger Win over Elkhart

Well if that's what a sectional semifinal meeting between Warsaw and Elkhart might look like, it'll be a game for the ages. . 

The Lady Tigers held off the Lady Lions 58-55 Tuesday in the final home game of the season. 

Joslyn Bricker led the way with 20 points for the Lady Tigers--the final two coming at the free throw line in the game's final seconds to put the Lady Tigers up by three.. 

Elkhart's last chance ended when they failed to get off a shot at the buzzer. 

Bricker was joined in double-figured by Brooke Winchester's 14 and Brooke Zartman's 10. Winchester also collected 10 rebounds. 

"We needed this kind of game right before the tournament," Head Coach Lenny Krebs. "This was a really good challenge for us, and it shows us some things we still need to work on for next week."

Krebs was referring to their 20 Lady Tiger turnovers. 

"Sometimes I forget, we all forget, that these girls are still very young and inexperienced," he added. "But being in these situations is good for them and is making them better. I am proud of them for finding a way to get this done tonight."

The Lady Tigers and Lady Lions could meet in the sectional semi-finals at Concord if Warsaw can dispose of Concord for the second time in a less than two weeks in the first round of the sectional at Concord next Tuesday. Elkhart meets the winner of Warsaw-Concord in Game 2 next Friday at approximately 7:30pm. 

At 16-5, Warsaw finishes the regular season at Huntington North Thursday. The junior varsity game is scheduled for 6pm.
