Todd Beamer Titans
Todd Beamer took control of the contest from the tip scoring in double figures before Skyview could register any points. Nia Alexander and Bria Rice led the charge with turnovers in Skyview’s back-court leading to easy buckets. Skyview eventually cobbled together a response to cut the lead down and give themselves a chance to talk things over at halftime and make a run down the stretch.
The Storm did exactly that by controlling the glass and challenging Beamer’s field goal attempts in the paint. The trio of Ashlee Comastro, Madison Lord, and Riley Friauf willed Skyview within one possession until Nia Alexander put the game on ice. Beamer’s leading scorer buried a three with the shot clock expiring pushing the Titans lead out of reach. Beamer advances to the semis on Friday.
