Matt, first the Open Door ladies are 5 & 4, next the Open Door ladies led by one after the first quarter 17 to 16 and then trailed by seven at the half (add up the two quarters). The Lady Patriots then led by three, not one after three. Are you the Oberlin beat reporter? There isn’t anything mentioned about the performance of thier junior guard Emily McClain who scored 28! Please do all these ladies justice by reporting fairly, accurately and evenly. They all deserve that much!!
Thank you.
