FIRST HALF –
As the game started, the Ponies got off to a hot start, as an early 3-pointer by Markelle Peterson put the Ponies up 5-0. Kinley Marquis and Reegan Mortimer would add buckets as well, and WAO found themselves in front 11-4, forcing a Mustang timeout. Out of that timeout, however, things flipped rapidly in favor of the Mustangs. Kate Thayer and Kylee Binkley alone led the Mustangs on a 12-0 run, and all of a sudden they held a 16-11 advantage. A Mortimer 3-pointer stopped the bleeding temporarily, but the bandage was ripped off rapidly by the Mustangs. Thayer scored 5 points in a row to put the Mustangs up 21-14, and the momentum carried on to the final minutes of the half. The Mustang defense began causing turnovers at a rapid pace, and although they weren’t scoring very many points off of those turnovers, the Ponies lacked scoring as well, and the Mustangs were able to take a 29-19 lead into the break.
