FREE THROWS WIN IT FOR SW

Southwest made ten of fifteen fourth quarter free throws, eight of them by Cameron Araujo, to defeat visiting Coral Reef, 38-30. By contrast, the Barracudas (9-9) struggled at the line all afternoon, making just five of 22 attempts. The Lady Eagles, who trailed 11-8 after one quarter, rallied to take a 15-13 lead into the locker room. Coral Reef rebounded to take a one point lead going into the final period. Each team made only one field goal in the last eight minutes but the free throw shooting was the difference. The Lady Eagles (7-9) go for their third straight victory Tuesday night at 5pm at Miami Beach. A win will move Southwest into a tie for second place in the district.
