(15U) AIA EYBL Completes Comeback, Payback Over North Tartan EYBL
With a very fresh taste of disappointment in their gut, the All Iowa Attack 2027 ladies made it right the next chance they got. Turnabout is fair play, even in hoops. In what was the second installment of the EYBL rivals on Championship Sunday, this one also did not disappoint!
North Tartan jumped out to a 24-16 lead with some well spread production, led by Jordan Christofferson. They built on that lead early into the second when things started to turn. Down 30-18, AIA put the clamps down and held North Tartan to 8 points the rest of the way.
Chloe Johnson came alive in the second half to lead the comeback, along with Katie Muller who led them through the first half. Both girls had a team high 12 points, but it was Kinley Larson who put the nail in the coffin this time.
With time winding down, and no timeouts left, Larson shot faked, drove middle and pulled up around the elbow and knocked down her one and only shot of the game to give the AIA the 40-38 lead, and despite a decent shot at the buzzer, the game winner!
