Xavier girls falter at end to I.C West
Until the roof caved in on them in the fourth quarter, the Cedar Rapids Xavier girls gave Iowa City West a tough fight at home Friday night.
The Saints fell 46-38, but the game was tied at 35-all with six minutes to go.
“They went to a zone and we chucked the ball too much,” said Xavier Coach Tom Lilly. “We made too many bad passes and too many bad decisions.”
And they were facing Women of Troy all-stater Ally Disterhoft, whom Lilly has already annointed “Miss Iowa Basketball” for this season.
With the scored tied, the rangy 6-foot senior hit two free throws, then a 3-pointer, then some more free throws. She also stole a pass and blocked a Saints 3-point shot.
Next thing you knew, West was leading 46-35.
