Vs. Dietrich
The state opener against Dietrich was one of those “if only” games as Summit competed well against the eventual state champions and were still within 3 points with 3:44 left before the Blue Devils put the game away at the free throw line.Brooke Schumacher drives past a Dietrich defender.
The first “if only” for Summit was all the missed chances in the first quarter. They scored just 3 points in the first 4 minutes of play but in that time must have missed at least 7 or 8 lay-ups. Even with that they trailed only 13-14 at the quarter break.
The second “if only” was Rachel Wemhoff getting into foul trouble. She picked up her third foul late in the first half and then picked up her 4th just over 3 minutes into the third quarter. She sat out the final 4:46 of the third and then came back in to start the fourth and lasted only until the 5:58 mark, playing just over 5 of the 16 minutes of the second half.
The second quarter of action saw several more missed shots inside as they trailed 19-27 at the half. It might’ve been more but Dietrich wasn’t exactly blistering the nets as they connected on just 5 of 20 second quarter shots.
Summit found the shooting touch in the third quarter as they hit 8 of 11 shots.
They quickly cut the lead in half on baskets by Rachel Wemhoff and Nicole Frei but then gave up 4 straight points. Savanah Prigge then stole the ball and drove full-court for a lay-up and then added another basket to again cut the lead to 4.
After a Dietrich basket Nicole Frei converted a 3-point play and Nicole Wemhoff, in for big sister Rachel, connected from 16 feet to cut the lead to 1 at 34-35 with 1:45 left in the third.
Dietrich was able to push the lead back to 7 thanks to a pair of 3-pointers by Charley Bingham as the Blue Devils led 36-43 after 3 quarters.
In the fourth quarter Summit cut the lead to 3 points on 4 different occasions, the last time at 46-49 with 3:44 left after a basket by Nicole Frei.
From that point on Dietrich was able to convert a couple of lay-ups and then scored their final 9 points at the free throw line while Summit scored just 6 points total.
Despite hitting 16 of 23 shots from the field in the second half Summit actually lost ground as Dietrich countered with 13 of 16 from the free throw line including an 8 for 8 performance by Bingham.
