Wash 55, Lowell 54


Last Friday Washington beat Lowell in a thrilling JV game. In the beginning, though, it looked like Wash would blow Lowell out of Kezar Pavillion.
An agressive full court press helped the Eagles take a 28-7 first quarter lead: Solomon Walker scored six points off Lowell turnovers. Daniel Li blew past Cardinal defenders (he made one fall down on a crossover). Byron Jones' and Alex Martin's low-post presence made Lowell reluctant to go inside.
It looked like the slaughter would continue, but Lowell never lost their confidence. Head Coach (need his name) decision to put #3 in the game may have been his best move . #3 immediately began attacking the basket, making acrobatic lay-ups and helping the Lowell fans get into the game. The Cardinals chipped away at the lead, but Wash still went into halftime up 38-23.
The second half Lowell Cardinals looked like a team that hadn't lost all season.
