Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Back here at Mohegan Sun Arena where you got wins
in the Big East quarterfinals, taking care of their business
over Saint John's seventy one to forty. Now you may
have heard we had some technical issues as we get
to our game recap sponsored by the Landing Senior Living
at North Haven, so we will for a go the
first half highlights. But here's what we can tell you.
It was per Day Mayo that made the first hoop

(00:20):
of the game on an and one, she missed the
free throw, and then Saint John's winn score for over
ten minutes. In that time, Yukon reeled off the next
twenty two, led twenty two to two before Saint John's
got rolling again. Vander Hoop hit a three with seven
eighteen to go in the second and that got the
ball rolling as u kind outscored them sixteen to fifteen

(00:41):
in the second and took a thirty four to seventeen
lead into the half. Then in the second half, Ice Brady,
who had a tremendous return to the lineup on Sunday,
would get a nice hoop here that was started defensively
by Paige Beckers and assist courtesy of Caitlyn jen vander
hoop twe in the circles with four, goes right, with

(01:01):
three gives to Owen, heaves up a three. Beckers blocks
the shot and gets the rebound. Double team loops at
the chen. Chen will go in a tack boat. Here
Chen in the lane stops, floats it to Brady Ducks
inside lays it in from the right. Well. It wasn't
pure vintage textbook freakaway hoops for the Huskies, but they

(01:23):
made it work. And Joe Tarnamello is gonna take a
time out with four to forty six to go in
the third on the Brown Panderas and Scott scoreboard, yukon
forty five to twenty three, one of the four Kaitlin
Genesis had on the day you cut at seventeen. As
a team, they would add to it later. In fact,
they would score the last six points of quarter number
three four free throws and a baseline drive from Ashland h.

(01:46):
Brady and Strong playing nice together. Here's a shade on
the left corner, fakes the three, takes it to the
rim and scores four for shade. Final fifteen seconds of
the third, it's a six to zero. You count run
at fifty three to twenty seven, and that would be
your score through three quarters. Page Beckers had a good day,

(02:07):
much better in the second half. Ten points in the
first half, ten points in the second half, but much
more efficient, especially with the mid range game. Here's Fudd
down the middle off to Chen doesn't shoot the three
bounce past Beckers pull up from the left. Goods. He's
playing so well off of each other as his continuous movement,

(02:28):
and Jen realized, you know what, Page Becker's just gonna
sing in advance. She's gonna come off there and be
more open than I am. Fifteenth game this season, Pages
had twenty that man at fifty seven to twenty nine
at the time in our fifty nine to twenty nine
at the time, and then the Huskies would score eighteen
points in the fourth quarter. They were consistent all game long,

(02:49):
but the last two a special one, as Caroline de
charm now in her fourth game back for the Huskies,
had missed her first three shots of the season. That
came to an end late in the fourth quarter. Arnold,
here's a three ball around, no good rebound, tipped up.
L Offie wins the battle gives to the Charmi Carolina
on the board. I was happy for Carolina to score,

(03:13):
but I love to play in its entirety. Great rebound
by Alaffi to go get it. That wasn't one. The
sixest came to her first field goal for Caroline to
charm in a long time November nineteen, twenty twenty three,
to be precise. Eighteen to two in the first, sixteen
to fifteen in the second, nineteen ten, and the third
eighteen thirteen in the fourth equals Yukon seventy one and

(03:36):
Saint John's forty debbie with Azy Fud. Next on the
