Behind the gritty play of sophomore point guard Abby Feuchter and the hot shooting of senior Ashley Wanninger the Colerain girls basketball team was able to withstand a furious third quarter surge by Harrison on Wednesday night and prevail 55-45.
Trailing 26-14 at the break the Wildcats used a stingy full court press and hot three point shooting from Amy Brooks (14pts) to close the gap to 41-35 at the end of the third quarter. Ashley Wanninger who scored 21 points (4 of 8 from behind the arc) kept the Colerain cushion from shrinking even smaller by hitting 5 of 6 free throws in the final two minutes of the period.
The star on this night, however, was Feuchter who scored 12 points and contributed 6 assists and hit 6 of 8 free throws down the stretch to seal the victory for Colerain. "I'm happy for Abby. She's a humble kid and she's worked hard to get to this point" said coach Christi Mack.
Up next for the Lady Cardinals is a return to GMC play with a home game next Tuesday night versus Fairfield. Coach Mack added, "Fairfield has a great freshman. They have some tough losses but we never count anybody out in the GMC. This league is too tough to do that. In fact, I've got some film on them that I'm going home right now to watch!"
