Upset Minded Lady Saints Fall Just Short

Not everyone expected Seward to even have a chance Monday night at first place Cloud. Seward again used just seven players and almost pulled out the upset. But the Lady Saints fell just short as the Lady T-Birds improve to 4-0 in the Jayhawk West with a 56-48 win over Seward. The Lady Saints had 26 turnovers in the loss playing without guards Hannah Rotolo and Autumn Miller. The Lady Saints built a 28-21 lead late in the first half before the Lady T-Birds (13-3, 4-0) went on a 19-2 run from late in the first half until early in the second. It was 28-26 Cloud at halftime. Seward trailed 40-30 early in the second half but chipped back into that lead. Seward came within two (50-48) before Cloud finished the game on a 6-0 run. Cloud coach Brett Erckenbrack won his 500th game as head coach. Seward is 13-6 overall and 3-2 in the Jayhawk West. Seward hosts Dodge City Saturday night at 6 p.m. on B107.5.
