CORAL PARK WINS SQUEAKER, 33-31

Host Coral Park held on to beat Southwest, 33-31, Wednesday afternoon in a very competitive game. The Lady Eagles (1-1) led 10-8 after one quarter and 18-16 at the half. The Lady Rams (I know Rams, by definition, are male, but I didn't choose their nickname) outscored Southwest 9-6 in the third period to take a one-point lead. Coral Park increased the lead to four with under a minute left, but Jessica Carreras drained a three-pointer with 31-seconds left to cut the deficit to one. The Lady Rams made one of two free throws with 0:15 on the clock, but the Lady Eagles were unable to score again. Southwest lost the game on the foul line, shooting only 8-for-22.
The scoring:
Sophia Piñeiro 15
Jessica Carreras 15
