What Went Down:
The Stars came out hot to begin the game. They scored the first eight points before Diaz knocked down her first three-point bucket of the day. The Stars extended their lead to 15-3 before Norriah Broomfield (Milwaukee, Wis.) swished a pair of free throws, 15-5. Scoring from Sanai Ballard (Highland, Ind.), Robertson, Ameri Lawson (Racine, Wis.), and Rionne Turner (Milwaukee, Wis.) helped the Blue Angels regain momentum and pull within one point in the first quarter. The Blue Angels trailed 15-14.
The Stars scored the first basket of the second quarter before Robertson had a perfect trip to the free throw line, 17-16. Her next trip to the line gave the Blue Angels their first lead of the afternoon, 21-20. Another mid-range jumper for Robertson splashed through the net, leaving the score 23-23 at halftime.
Once again, the Stars scored first coming out of the break. A jumper from Broomfield regained the Blue Angel lead by one, 28-27. Dominican was able to go on a run and pick up a lead as big as 13. Robertson had another perfect trip to the stripe, bringing the score within 10. After the third, the Stars were on top 43-32.
Robertson started things off one minute into the fourth quarter. The Stars hit a shot to answer. A huge Diaz three-point bucket got things going for the Blue Angels. Deja Rivers (Kenosha, Wis.) found herself scoring underneath the basket, 48-41. Robertson scored back-to-back buckets, closing the gap to five points, 50-45.
