Starting point is 00:00:02 The following is a special presentation of WRFH sports. Crowd is roaring. It's a sold-out game here. Takes the three. Two shots to layup, bounces off the left side of the rim. Offensive rebound. Sidney Mills puts it back up and end. There's that size advantage. Easy layups.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Still charge your basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM starts now. She's their starting center, and she averages 18 points a game. Average a lot of offensive rebounds. Pioneers dominate the offensive rebounding stat, and as long as they can keep her under control, not even stop her, but just keep her under control, limit her to minimal offensive rebounds. They're going to win this game pretty easily.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Malone likes to play fast. They turn the ball over a lot, so an exciting game. Anything you got, Christian? The Chargers have a good player of their own and Lauren McDonald. She's a senior this year. She put up 20 points yesterday, sorry, Thursday, and the Chargers' big win over Ohio, Dominican. They had a comeback win against them to open up their conference play.
Starting point is 00:02:29 She averages 15.4 points a game. So it's not quite 18, but it's still pretty good. And if she has a strong game, it can maybe neutralize Kauffman's effect on the Pioneers. Yeah, she's the Chargers' superstar. She's their starting point guard. She'll play a lot of the game tonight. So the person who will probably be defending Kaufman will be probably Savannah Smith, number 21.
Starting point is 00:02:55 They're six foot forward. Sophomore this year, really turned it on this year, averaging the third most points for the charges at 11.1. So three chargers in the double digits this year in averages, which is great to see in women's basketball. But here we go. We're getting ready for the tip off as Malone and the Chargers are going after. So, and it looks, and a lot of contributions from the sophomores who were bench players last year. Like, I think Annalise Patrissic is also, she was a bench player last year. She's getting more regular playing time.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Thank you. And we're going to the tip off. It's tipped off to number four on the Pioneers. That's Natalie Armstrong. Natalie, thanks. Natalie Armstrong gets it. They're working into the, they're driving to the hoop. That's Aaron Kaufman right there who had it.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah, so you can see early from the Chargers that they want to double team Kaufman whenever she gets the ball in the paint. And it looks like Kaufman is just fouled. No, she stepped out of bounds. Oh, okay. Yeah, so, so the. The plan for the Chargers is as soon as Kaufman touches the ball, she's going to get double-teamed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Caitlin's Splain with the ball going past mid-court. Yeah, it's good to see Splane and McDonald on the court a lot together because they're both primarily point guards and so they don't get to play a lot together whenever they do. It's very, really exciting. They've both been on this team. This was their fourth year on the team for both of them. So team chemistry is also a factor. Splane with the ball.
Starting point is 00:04:50 she's driving she puts up a shot but it misses yeah just had to kind of put up a shot shot clock was expiring not a bad look for for there being zero seconds left in the shot clock that's an attempted three by natalie armstrong doesn't go in offensive rebound goes to the lone now and another attempted three that one by um brooklyn troiner does not go in either yeah an early offensive rebound there plain nope Blaine misses the shot, and that's Kaufman with the ball. Up, passes it down. There's, that's Bryn Hunt with driving.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Oh, and the ball goes out of bounds, and the charges will get possession. Yeah, so like we talked about before the game, a turnover already for the pioneers. They turn it over almost 20 times a game, 18.6, which is just an incredible number. Wow. They usually do beat their opponents by an average of eight points, but turning it over 18 times of games. It's just incredible. That's not something you want to be doing. As McDonald passes the ball to Smith, Smith misses a shot,
Starting point is 00:06:18 rebound goes to that looks like it's Brooklyn-Trener again. gives the ball to Kaufman, misses. That's Kaufman's fifth attempted three of the season in eight games. Not really a shooter, more of a big man, more of a post player, but I guess when she gets an open look. And McDonald finally gets a layup. That's the first score of the game, almost two and a half minutes in. And the loan answers right back with the layup of their own.
Starting point is 00:06:51 So after being scoreless, now we have two to two game fairly quickly. Yeah, Chargers scored there, and then Malone was able to break through quickly. Charger's kind of still getting back on defense, caught him sleeping. Sometimes you get excited about finally making a basket, and then, oh, is that a foul? We got a jump ball. Jump ball in the possession is going to stay with Hillsdale because Malone did win the tip. off. Some substitutions into the game that looks like Abby Price of the Pioneers. Yeah, only five seconds left on the shot clock for Hill, so they're going to need to go quick here.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Savannah Smith needs to put up a shot up. Oh, and shot clock runs out as Lauren McDonald loses control of basketball and is not able to recover before the clock runs out. Yeah. Just unfortunately, you need to get a, get up a quick shot there right off the inbound, almost just a catcher. shoot there with only six seconds left on the baseline. Yeah. Driving to the hoop up and that is a missed three by Brooklyn Troiner. Yeah, some good help defense by McDonald left her own girl wide open, but if she wouldn't have helped, they would have gotten a wide open layup.
Starting point is 00:08:17 So better a wide open three than a wide open layup. And Savannah Smith misses a three too. Some attempted threes from the post players on both teams. This is interesting to see that as Troyner tries to drive the basket. And that's another attempted three by, as that Ali Miller? Yeah, it was. It does not go in. Lauren McDonald tries a jumper.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Does not go in. Very low-scoring games so far in this first quarter. Yeah, both of these teams average about 70 points. I mean, right now they're on pace for 16. That would be crazy. I mean, it's not going to hold, but... Yeah, the thing about basketball is that it's a very streaky game. You get hot, you get hot.
Starting point is 00:09:17 You know, you can score eight points in a row on four possessions and then not score for two, five minutes. And it looks like the ball goes out of bounds. And that's the foul call against number 23, Bryn Hunt of the pioneers. Chargers will get the ball. That's inbounded to number 24 on the Chargers. Ellie Bruce, a freshman.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Extremely tall. The Chargers tallest player. And that's a jumper attempt by Kendall McCormick does not go in. And that's Alian Miller passes it. Driving to the hoop was Abby Price. But I think. There's going to be a blocking foul there. Siddy Panasic.
Starting point is 00:10:22 And Annalise Pitcherzik is checking in for Lauren McDonald. So Chargers get another, a bigger player in. Maybe defense inbounded to Kylie Bruce. Driving to the hoop puts up a layup does not go in, but offensive rebounds for the pioneers. Oh, and a bad pass goes out of bounds. I mean, yeah, just kind of throws them out of bounds. I mean, there was a little bit of pressure, but not enough to just excuse that, just toss over their head. I don't think they had to go to a short media timeout.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Listen to Radio for Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. Welcome to the Grammar Minute, where we're saving the English language 60 seconds out of time. I'm Lauren Smith, and someone recently asked me for my opinion on the word skidaddle. Well, he didn't actually ask. He said he didn't like the word, and I said I did, and one thing led to another, and here I am making an episode about it. Recently, I suggested using highly descriptive verbs and nouns rather than heaping up a bunch of adjectives. For example, instead of saying the food was very good, describe the experience, of enjoying that food, using strong words like savored, or, oh, here's a good one, scrumptious.
Starting point is 00:11:40 This can get taken a little far when you start using words most people don't understand, such as crepuscular, for example. I have no idea what that means, and something about the texture of the word makes me uncomfortable. In my opinion, skid-addled doesn't fall into this category. It's an interesting, somewhat unusual word that sounds like what it means and is commonly understood. So, though it isn't frequently used, it conveys a lot of descriptive information. That's your grammar minute. Back to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM.
Starting point is 00:12:12 You're listening to Charter Women's Basketball, and if you're just tuning in, we're in a two-to-two tie with four minutes, 47 seconds left in the first quarter. A very low-scoring game, a lot of shots, but a lot of missed shots. Yeah, the interesting thing about women's basketball is that the fouls reset every quarter. So you're at one-to-one fouls, but that doesn't really matter going into the second quarter at all.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Caitlin Splean passes. and up. That's another foul, I think. Yeah, foul's going to be on number 11, Abby Price, of Malone. So Hosell is going to keep the basketball, and Shock Rock's going to reset to 20 seconds instead of 30. Kendall McCormick going to inbound the ball. Passes off to Splane, and Splane to Panasic.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Back to Panasic. McCormick still. Splane trying to get inside. Does not. And that's a pass to prosthesis. She had to shoot it right before the clock went out. They get the rebound. And Splane puts up a three.
Starting point is 00:13:32 It does not go in. And there's another foul on 11. Yeah. Defensive rebounding fouls. The thing about offensive rebound is that they're just like extra possessions, you know? You miss a shot and then you get to keep the ball. So this is their third possession really in a row. So number four, Natalie Armstrong, check again for the pioneers.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Splane gets it up and bad pass, but able to recover it. A layup attempt from Ellie Bruce does not go in. This game can't stay this low scoring the whole time. Eventually somebody will get hot. They'll start making shots. And that's a layup from Kaufman. So it's 4 to 2 Malone. Yeah, he'll also done a great job on defense so far, keeping Kaufman quiet.
Starting point is 00:14:29 That's your first basket of the day. And overall, doing a great job on defense. Malone only has four points still. As, oh. Well, McCormick drove to the basket, and she was fouled. That's a foul on Natalie Armstrong of the. pioneers. Brin Hunt checking in to the game for Kylie Bruce. Got a couple of free throws for McCormick. Yeah, so McCormick has a chance to tie up this very low-scoring game. She'll miss the first one.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Yeah, I mean, free throw is really important. Chargers are our good free throw shooting team, but free throw is very important in an extremely low-scoring game. She'll get the second one, so it's four to three Malone. You were just talking about free throws. The difference of a lot of these games have been free throws. The Chargers have been play their opponents really well, but sometimes when they get into foul trouble, the difference of the game will just be all the extra free throws the opponents get to make. Malone with the ball.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Passes it up. Bounds on Malone. A bad pass. I don't know who she was passing it to. They're trying to force the ball into Kaufman, but once again, she's getting double-teamed. I mean, the backside help is very focused on Kaufman, knowing that she's their best player. Especially since the second best scorer on the Pioneers scores fewer points than the Chargers' third best.
Starting point is 00:16:14 So it's Kaufman leading the team, so it would make sense that you'd want to stop her. McDonald, outside the arc, driving in, passes off. and another missed shot from Ellie Bruce is and that is of eight three from that's Brooklyn Shrinner so seven to three pioneers that's only the third basket made by Malone and it's the first three-pointer of the game Malone here switching to a zone defense trying to guard Hillsdale and what looks like a two-three defense and that's an out of bounds Savannah Smith checking into the game for Ellie Bruce
Starting point is 00:17:13 and the Chargers get inbound the ball. McDonald to Panassick and to McDonald again driving in she puts up a jumper right before the shot clock runs out no good but a rebound from Splane that one is good so it's 7 to 4
Starting point is 00:17:43 five about a minute and a half left missed shot from malone mcdonald going down the court again and she's been fouled yeah that follows on it's on foul on macdonald to follow on coughman and uh that's the person that you want to drive after because if you get her in a follow trouble you it looks it looks good for you defensively because getting her out of the game as she checks out of the game right here is key in keeping the keep him alone quiet and the first free throw is good so it's seven to six McDonald with the chance to tie the game with a minute and a half in the first quarter second shot is good so seven to seven tie malone moving down the court that is natalie armstrong passes off to grin hunt
Starting point is 00:18:52 to get into the paint. And jumper kind of rolls around the rim, but it does go in. Nine to seven. Kind of an ugly shot there, but, I mean, it rolls around the room about three times and then falls in. All that matters whether it's good or not. So no pictures in the box score. That's a pass to Savannah Smith, who puts up a layup. So the Chargers Post player there.
Starting point is 00:19:30 tying the game. Yeah, it was a great pass from Annalise Petruszic. I mean, just kind of tossing it over, lost it in there, finding her breadbasket for Savannah Smith. And that's a missed shot from
Starting point is 00:19:46 that's, what, Natalie Armstrong again. Yeah, so as the clock's down to 19 seconds, Malone looking to get the final shot here of the first quarter. Trying to dribble out, bit. Armstrong trying to get in, but Charter's not letting her move.
Starting point is 00:20:06 But a pass into the paint does not go in. Offensive rebound. And they do not convert. So the first quarter will end with a 9-9 tie. We're going to go to a quick break. You are listening
Starting point is 00:20:24 to Charger Women's Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. We'll be right back after this. Fox on set. An effective ban on TikTok is rapidly approaching, but a lifeline could come from one of its former foes, President-elect Trump. In Trump's first term, he signed an executive order calling TikTok a national emergency. But in recent months, he is warm to it, telling Joe Rogan, his TikTok account helped him connect with young people and said over the summer he plans to save the app.
Starting point is 00:20:55 It's set to be deplatformed the day before he is sworn in. That is if Chinese parent company ByteDance does not sell. It's a result of a bipartisan law signed by President Biden in April. Trump's pick for national security advisor, Congressman Michael Waltz, has long spoken out against TikTok's Chinese government control. I've called for a full-on ban. We can do it. By the way, the largest democracy in the world, the government of India, realizes the danger. It's done it. It is long overdue. We should not allow our greatest adversary to access 150 million Americans in their data. With Fox on Tech, Alexander Ahoff, Fox News. Charger women's basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. If you're just tuning in, we're right about to start the second quarter.
Starting point is 00:21:45 It's a nine-to-nine tie right here between the Chargers and the pioneers of Malone University. Not very good shooting in the first quarter. The Malone put up 26.7 percent and the Chargers 21.4. A lot of shots, but not many went in. Yeah, and it's not for a lack of. good looks because the Chargers is just sometimes the ball doesn't fall in. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you don't. As Malone is with the ball, passes inside.
Starting point is 00:22:19 That's a shot right around the free throw line that does not go in from Brooklyn Triner. McDonald quickly takes it down the court. That's an attempted shot from Panasic. no good and malone lift the ball again triner passes to to miller miller's right there puts up a layup it's good 11 to nine malone mcdonald to panacek back to macdonald she puts up a jumper and that one is also good yeah malone's starting to press just a little bit here not a heavy pressure not putting everybody up there but Just putting somebody on McDonald making it hard to inbound that ball.
Starting point is 00:23:20 It's got to be really careful there. That's Miller. Has the ball just inside the arc. Passes back to Hunt, to Triner, to Hunt, and back to Triner again. They're about 10 seconds left on the shot clock. It's going to be to travel on the loan.
Starting point is 00:23:56 It took one too many steps. It was number 23. We're in Hunt. So, up. Looks like we've got, yeah, we've got Sarah Al- Al-Qa Venetius. That's how we've been pronouncing it at least. Inhani Ann Hounser just prompts to Alika Vanicious.
Starting point is 00:24:16 We're not really sure. It's a very long name and even the pronunciation guide does not help. She's checking into the game for Sydney Panasic. Savannah Smith puts up a jumper. That one bounces around. It's in. so it's 13 to 11 Hillsdale. And just like that, the baskets are starting to fall for Hillsdale and even for Malone a little bit.
Starting point is 00:24:43 We've already got more points this far into the game this quarter as we were in the first. And the first quarter at this point, we were to zero zero. That is Brooklyn Shrenner who tied the game, 13 to 13 now. And that's McDonald to Smith and another layup. It looked exactly like that play about three months. minutes ago where just tosses over the defense and puts it in the breadbasket, Savannah Smith, with an easy layout. That looks like the game plan might be starting to click a little bit for Hillsdale.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Like the post players and the guards working well together. That's a missed shot from Alia Miller on the pioneers. Chargers get the rebound. They kind of mess up the fast break, though, and the pioneers get the ball back. I don't know what happened. Maybe trying to rush the way up a little bit. Unattempted three from Hans does not go in. We're going to have an official timeout because the shot clock did not start.
Starting point is 00:26:04 So official is trying to figure out the shot clock, changing the amount of seconds on there, and then we're going to get back to the action. But they will allow the subs to check in as Ellie Bruce does check in for the Chargers. Three players checking in for the Pioneers. Kylie Bruce of the Pioneers checking, on inbounding. Oh, and they turned the ball over.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Bad pass. And Sidney Mills wide open for a three, but does not go in. And that was Kendall McCormick with the rebounder tried to put up a layup there. She was fouled. And Kaufman charged with another foul. Yes, they're going to get her out of the game in this second quarter.
Starting point is 00:27:01 You know, not in foul trouble yet, only has two fouls. but having two fouls this early in the second quarter is a little bit dangerous. You don't want to be risking missing your best player when the game is on the line late. As McCormick drains the first free throw, make it 16 to 13. The second one misses, so the pioneers get the ball, moving it down the court. That is Troiner again with driving. Passes.
Starting point is 00:27:44 That's the three attempt misses from Kylie Horn, and the ball goes out of bounds. And they're going to call a foul on Alec of Inacious. She was just trying to get the ball, but the other girl made an attempt to go around her and kind of gave her a little bit of a hip check and falls out of bounds, and they give her a foul. Pioneers inbounding. Try to put up a shot. They get the offensive rebound. Another attempt at three, no good.
Starting point is 00:28:23 That is McCormick with the rebound. McDonald's going down the court. Passes Alacanesius. McDonald, behind the three line. Oh, tries to pass to Ellie Bruce, but the defender on Malone, that is Katie Kaufman. She was right there, so deflects the ball out of bounds. Chargers still get the ball back.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Another attempt to pass to Bruce, she gets it misses the layup and malone will get the rebound this time driving and that is a layup for anna cruppa and it's a 16 to 15 game right now with five minutes left in the second quarter we got ellie bruce macdonald she's right under the basket kind of lost control of the ball there Yeah, we're going to get a jump ball here, though, and possession is going to go to the pioneers. As we are under five minutes, and that's a stop at the clock, so we're going to go to short media timeout.

Starting point is 00:30:39 Asherbot from Team Asobi nods to their beloved characters and is a contender for the prestigious Game of the Year at the Game Awards 2024. Heyman Dignam. Fox News. Welcome back to Radio Free Hillsdale,
Starting point is 00:30:54 101.7 FM. You're listening to Charger Women's Basketball. If you're just tuning in with us, the Chargers are leading 16 to 15 with four minutes, 50 seconds left in the second quarter. A fairly slow offensive start for both teams. Both teams have picked it up a little bit in the second quarter. We're going to have Lauren McDonald inbounding the ball. It's Panasic.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And they're going to call her for a charging foul. She put the elbow into the girl and got the full extension of the arm. So I'm going to call a charging foul on Panassi to end up with Malone. So that's Kylie Bruce, inbounding the ball for the pioneers to Kylie Horn. That's a layup from. Anacrupa and it's 1716 pioneers now. Yeah, interesting thing tonight. Tonight is Christmas theme night, so not a lot of students here. Week before finals, Saturday.
Starting point is 00:32:05 A lot of people are either home or at Hillsdale, probably studying. Yeah, sleeping in from all the papers they had to write yesterday. Yeah, but you've got a Christmas theme night. Got some ugly sweaters out there, got some Christmas hats. That's another attempt at 3. That one is in. That's Troy and her. she gets the three.
Starting point is 00:32:26 It's 2016. Yeah, he'll just needs to slow this game down real quick. Take their best set play and get a basket. That's your best set place. Set a couple screens. Get your best player. Have a good look. NASIC drives, but passes off to Bruce, who puts it up.
Starting point is 00:32:49 So it's 20 to 18. She's going to get the end one foul that. Both teams have matched. their first quarter performances. We've still got over three minutes left here. So Bruce is going to be shooting that one extra free throw to make it a three-point play. Make it a one-point game.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Like you said, free throws have generally been pretty good for the Chargers. But that one misses, there's the announcer jinks right there. That's why you always wait to say it until after. Exactly. Natalie Armstrong passes off to Troiner. Chargers doing a good job of keeping them outside. Five seconds of the shot clock. A lot going low.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Missed three. Couldn't really keep the rebound and Splane's driving in for a layup. That was a nice shot there. It was kind of open, but not really. The defender was right there. She kind of put up a hook shot there. Yeah, and I mean, that play all started with the rebound from Annalise Peaches. It was dived on the ground.
Starting point is 00:34:11 dove on the ground, excuse me, and able to get a rebound and then pass it out. 2020 and Ellie Bruce will be called for a foul. Number three, Elia Miller will be shooting some free throws and Savannah Smith in the game for Bruce. First free throw is good. The second free throw is also good. So it's 22 to 20 for the pioneers with two minutes, 39 seconds. left in the second quarter. Yeah, been an exciting game. I don't think either team has had more than a four-point lead all day.
Starting point is 00:35:09 It's true. It's been a very close game. The biggest lead maybe was when the charges were up 20 to 16. Pioneers maybe have been up by three at one point, but a turnover when McDonald has. The ball drives, gets kind of caught up by the defenders, though. And we've got Natalie Armstrong with the ball. on the Malone's side of the court. Yeah. I mean, a little bit of a chaotic group of basketball there.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Malone trying to slow it down now. Did you good look instead of just throwing the ball out back and forth again. And Hempted layup from Miller is not good. Savannah Smith is, I think, is the one with the rebound. Smith has the ball from McDonald, passes to Splane. And Splane puts up a jumper. And we're tied again, 22 to 22. That was a great offball move by Splane, getting open in the paint,
Starting point is 00:36:17 and then just finishes the clip with the short jumper. Splane is one of the team's stronger shooters, so it's good to see her having a good game so far. And she gets a rebound, or at least a pass off a rebound. Gives it to Smith. McDonald tries to put up a shot, but that's blocked, but I think that's Miller again, blocked it. Yeah, and a little update.
Starting point is 00:36:48 from you from college football. Boise State won yesterday, 21-7, so they're probably going to make the college football playoffs. But right now, Arizona State beating Iowa State 24 to 10. So if they win that game, they will probably get the automatic bid and get the 12-seat in the college football playoffs. McDonald's sinks the free throw.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Chargers are in the lead again in this back-and-forth game. And the second one misses. Yeah, so Hillsdale currently up one. point 23 to 24 with one minute left to go in the second quarter. That is Miller with the ball and that charging towards the net was horn. There will be another foul called. Yeah, they're going to call a foul there on Savannah Smith. A little push in the back.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Girl kind of sold it. Made a little bit of an extra fall there for sure, but rest thought it was enough to give her the foul. And I don't know what happened on it in Ben, but is a turnover and McDonald puts up a layup and it looks like she's going to get an end one. So a big turn of events there. Yeah, I mean, there was just nobody open and you can only hold the ball in in-bounds for five seconds. So she just kind of tossed it up right to Al-Covinesius, Al-Covnichus to Lorne McDonald. And Lorne McDonnell drives all the way down, finishes the lay-up and gets the N-1.
Starting point is 00:38:24 And she'll convert her end-one. So it's 20. 22, 39 seconds left. Yeah, I think this is the largest lead for the charges of the day. Their offense has definitely gotten better this quarter. Eight seconds separate the game clock and the plate and the shot clock, excuse me. Probably got time for one possession each or something. Yeah, the lone waiting, trying to give Hillsdale as little time as possible left in that game clock to score.
Starting point is 00:38:59 trying to drive and that's an open three but it does not go in from alice geyser yeah we got a jump ball there on the rebound Malone gonna keep it so 8.9 seconds left here for Malone to put up a basket probably gonna try to put up a shot it doesn't make sense to hold on to the ball at this point driving in is that's Miller again oh and the clock runs out So we're going to go into halftime with the Chargers leading the pioneers, 26 to 22. We'll be back after halftime. You're listening to Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM, Charger Women's Basketball. Charger Women's Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM.
Starting point is 00:40:03 If you're just tuning in with us, we are about to come out of halftime. The Chargers have a lead of 2622 over the Malone Pioneers. It was a very slow start to the game offensively. It was like three minutes before the first points of the game. And then now the second quarter that both teams' offense came up pretty hot. One story is Brooklyn Troyer of the Bologne Pioneers already has a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. A lot of missed shots going up early in the game.
Starting point is 00:40:36 So a lot of rebound opportunities. And see, sometimes that happens because Hillsdale is so worried about their best player that they let other players get rebounds. So Kaufman, their great rebounder and their great point score is not having a great game because Hils still has been focused on her. And obviously, even though Brooklyn-Troiner is doing well, they probably should keep focusing on Coughman because they do have the lead. And Troiner only has 10 points, which it is quite a bit in women's basketball.
Starting point is 00:41:08 but I mean, Coffman would be dominating. So I think the strategy they have right now, the strategy that's had especially defensively in that first half, has been working out really well. I don't think they should really change anything defensively. Now offensively,
Starting point is 00:41:24 I'd like to see a little bit more of what they did once or twice where they had just kind of tossed it down. Players are playing over top of the center. So kind of just tossed it over their head, try to loft it in there and get easy layups. And maybe a couple more kids. kickouts once they do get a couple dribble drives. Malone's been leaving some players open.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Currently, I'm snacking, having some lunch. Great lunch of a uncrustable and some Pringles. Sounds good. It is good. It's really good. We're going to start the second half, so I'm going to have to... Just about to start here. Finish my lunch later. One more thing on Troyer.
Starting point is 00:42:02 She is the number two average scorer on the Pioneers, so it makes sense that... If Kaufman is held off, she would kind of ascend to the leadership of the team for a game. Smith has the ball. She puts up a miss shot, goes out of bounds. So it'll be inbounded by Bryn Hunt, trying to find an opening. And that is a good layup from Natalie Armstrong. So 2624.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Like you said, neither team has held a lead of more than four this game. It's been close. Yeah, and he'll still able to beat the press there. Get the ball down to Savannah Smith. The ball does not fall, though. And they get the offensive rebound. Caitlin Splain puts up a three. It's no good.
Starting point is 00:43:13 And it looks like Troyer will get the rebound. And that's a foul on Savannah Smith. So now it'll be inbounded again, Hunt to Armstrong. Yeah, it's always unfortunate at getting an offensive foul, because, I mean, you only get five fouls a game. And if anybody plays basketball like me in high school, I fouled out pretty much every game. That three is good for Malone,
Starting point is 00:43:45 and they're going to take the lead by one point. But wasting a foul on offense when you kind of need those on defense. Yeah, true, especially in the late game when there's, In a close game like this, there's probably going to be quite a bit of fouling. McDonald manages a layup there in traffic. I mean, that's just some great ball movement by Hillsdale. Alone, kind of half-court pressing, trying to get him trapped in the corners, and Hills will able to pass it all the way down the line,
Starting point is 00:44:14 basically not taking any dribbles and getting a pretty easy layup out of it. Looks like, is that Troyer who attempted a three does not go in, and that's McCormick with ball to Splane to McDonnell, Smith shoots of three, offensive rebound for the Chargers. McCormick will put up a jump shot, 30 to 27. Yeah, McCormick, Hillstall's best defender, and that's what everybody will tell you. She's not, you know, as much of a scoring threat,
Starting point is 00:45:03 but clearly she still can score when she needs to. too. And that is out of bounds. It looks like it will be in the Pioneer's favor. It is the Pioneer's favor. A couple players checking into the game. And referee's discussing something. Somebody's number or somebody's equipment. And Lauren McDonald come to the sideline. Is she checking out of the game for an hour? I don't know. Yeah, she is. Oh, wait, yeah. Yeah, so she used to check out of the game.
Starting point is 00:45:54 They're going to put Annalise Petrusick into the game. Don't really know what happened there. Lauren McDonald's currently standing behind the bench. Could have been a miscommunication. No, they're seem to dry something off on her jersey, so maybe she's got some blood on her jersey or something. A lot of times that's why players have to check out of the game. Can't have blood on them.
Starting point is 00:46:13 And we're going to have a foul on the screen there by Kaufman. And so that's Kaufman's third foul here in the third quarter. And on offense, too. Yeah, an offensive foul. Like we said, can't waste fouls on offense. It's unfortunate for him alone because that three by Abby Price would have been good. And McCormick with the ball into Petrissig. Petrissick puts up a three.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Does not go in. And that will be a fast break lay up there for Triswick. Troyer. Yeah, just kind of unfortunate, Alka Venetius, didn't have a handle on the ball, tried to tip it up, took it up right to him alone. Petrus, they try to put up another three. Does not go? Oh, and it looks like Savannah Smith's been called for an offensive.
Starting point is 00:47:10 They're going to draw a charging foul. I don't know about that one. I mean, she literally just fell over. She didn't really hit her. That's a weak foul call, if you asked me. Yeah, that one, it's more like she changed direction where the defender wasn't expecting it, so it was like an ankle breaker sort of situation. Either way, the pioneers have the ball. Troier has it, passes off. Charging in is Krupa. Back to Troyer.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Four seconds in the shot clock. And the shot clock runs out, so the charges will get the ball back. Yeah, great block there by Kenna McCormick. Only three seconds left on the shot clock. New she had to get a shot up. Usually you don't want to jump in those situations running out, but when you have to get a shot up, you can jump because that person doesn't have the ability to pump fake. To Caitlin, Ketan, to McCormick, driving, shot is blocked. And that will be a foul call on Abby Price of the pioneers. I drawn a foul on the lower body, hip bump there by price.
Starting point is 00:48:45 That's her third foul, so two pioneers with three fouls already. Quite a few foul calls so far in this second half. McCormick will get the first free throw, 32 to 29, and the second one does not go in. It kind of rolls around and doesn't go in this time. Price has it, and that is a three by Krupa. So it's 32-32. That is a bad pass from, I think that was.
Starting point is 00:49:34 McCormick. And another three attempt was by, sorry, that was by Horn, who made the shot. Yeah, we're going to get a 30-second timeout by Hillsdale. As you're listening to Radio for Hillsdale 1-on-1.7 FM, we're going to take a short break. In the B, 4-980s, 4.00% of 40% percent. Who wants a free-year-to-old slider? When the Hillsdale women's basketball teams score 65 points or more, age wins out. Yeah, so just a great game here so far by Hillsdale overall. But now you're down four points because of back-to-back threes.
Starting point is 00:50:24 A turnover on the press break, you have to break the press. We talked about that earlier. Malone was putting a little bit of pressure. Finally got a steal, and they got a steal in a big moment to turn the tide. Getting a four-point lead, which is, once again, maybe their biggest of the game. it is their biggest lead of the game both teams have had four point leads a few times but they've never led by more than that so as we're waiting to come back from the time out it's just interesting to see the dynamics of the game with no team has really been able to take control it's looked like
Starting point is 00:51:04 the chargers have been getting more of a grasp on the game but then with those six consecutive points from Malone it's just tough and looks like Hillsdale is going to be inbounding the ball that is Panasic Yeah now Malone after getting that seal on a full press Hillsdale able to break it pretty easily
Starting point is 00:51:27 And McDonald has the ball Around Half Court To Splane to Panassick Petrusig back to Panassic Which is passing the ball Splane tries to drive in And that is Ellie Bruce does not get a shot but it looks like she's been fouled
Starting point is 00:51:58 that's against number 14 of the pioneers so she will get two free throws yeah don't leave us because after this game we'll be covering the men's basketball game she's going to miss the first free throw men's basketball game here on radio free hillsdale one and one point seven of them is they also take on malone
Starting point is 00:52:21 it's the conference double headers and the second free throw is also no good. So Hillsdale, usually a great free throw shooting team, but we kind of struggle today from the Cherry Strike. A few missed opportunities there, and that's out of bounds, and it looks like, I don't know who it's against. It's against the Chargers.
Starting point is 00:52:54 So pioneers will be, oh, sorry. We're going to be going to a short media timeout, I believe. Yep. As the clock has past five minutes, and there's a stop. time. So we're going to go to a short media timeout. Scores currently 35 to 31. Malone is leading Hillsdale, women's basketball, and we'll be back.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I still listen to Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. Welcome to the Grammar Minute, where we're saving the English language 60 seconds at a time. I'm Lauren Smith, and I'm here to tell you that brand names are capitalized. This probably sounds obvious. Of course, you're going to capitalize Purell or Windex. But what about less obvious brand names?
Starting point is 00:53:35 that have also become popular words like weed eater, hydroflask, Hoover, and so on. In formal published writing, these words, even though commonly used, still need to be capitalized. There's some wiggle room with this. Some words are just so commonly used and so rarely associated with brands that it just looks really weird to capitalize them. It would probably seem strange if jacuzzi or Velcro or trampoline were randomly capitalized in the middle of a sentence, especially since most people don't know these are brands. You can be flexible with these words, but generally it's best to follow the rule, capitalize, brand names.
Starting point is 00:54:12 That's your Grammar Minute. Visit thegrammerminut.com for more tips and tricks. Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.1.7 FM. If you're just tuning in with us, we have four minutes, 45 seconds left in the third quarter. The pioneers lead the chargers 35 to 31, as they are inbounding the ball right now. And they get a, is that a foul?
Starting point is 00:54:42 You're going to get a charging foul. So Lauren McDonald able to draw the charging foul. The foul is on number 14 of Malone and the crowd. Very excited about that one. Several offensive fouls this game on both teams. Yeah, maybe the most offensive fouls ever seen in a basketball game. Probably. McDonald has the ball.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Panasic passes it inside that's a beautiful team work there that's Petrissik who gets the layup I think on an assist from Ellie Bruce yeah no dribbles taken there by Hillsdale just some great ball movement and some great offball movement that one was good and we've got an attempted three by that was Hunt of the pioneers that's not good Plain passes it inside to Bruce and the layup is good and the score is tied again. So we got a 35, 35 ball game here in Dodd-Tibbitts Potter Arena. Crowd getting into it a little bit. Well, a couple more people showed up finally waking up on their Saturday morning. That is a three-point shot from Kylie Bruce of the Pioneers. and there's going to be a timeout, so we're going to be going to a short break. You were listening to Charger Women's Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM.

If you're just joining us, the Malone pioneers lead the charges 3835.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Chargers are inbounding the ball right now. Caitlin Splain trying to get past half court. McDonald's lift the ball, passes it inside. Not a lot of room, but they get in the ball. side and Ellie Bruce puts up the layup. It was a great job by Petrusick knowing she wasn't going to get the shot up. And a great cut by Ellie Bruce, right time, right place, right time. Good teamwork similar to that last layup between the two.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I think it was reversed with who got the assist in the score the last time. But just really good teamwork from the Chargers. So, oh, knocks over Petrusik puts up a shot. And that's 40 to 37. now. Splane moving inside. She gets a layup. She saw that there weren't that many defenders there in the paint. So she just charged in and put one up. Yeah, that's the thing about Malone's press is that once it is broken, if you go quick enough,
Starting point is 00:58:56 you're going to get an easy layup off of that. Malone turns the ball over. Petrissick gets it to McDonald. Oh, I thought that was in for a second, but Nile Bruce just misses a layup. We've got, that is Anacrupa, he's trying to get inside. Into the paint, looks like there's a foul call. It's going to be shooting two here. I'm going to loan up one point, going to have two free throws here.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Trying to separate their lead. Hey, at least a basket. A little bit of foul trouble for both teams this game. So Brin Hunt will be getting two free throws. First one is good. Extends the pioneer lead by a little bit. The second shot is also good. So we're 42 to 39.
Starting point is 01:00:21 One minute 40 seconds left in the third quarter. Caitlin's plane has the ball to McDonald. Looks like a foul call on. Malone 24, that's Anacrupa. She's shooting. McDonald, no. We'll get a couple of free throws from McDonald. Yeah, so women's basketball, once you get to five fouls in a quarter,
Starting point is 01:01:01 going to be shooting two free throws. There is no single bonus. It's all double bonus. So McDonald's going to get two free throws. She gets the first one to get one point closer. It puts up the second. Second one is also good. 4241 pioneers one minute 26 seconds left that is number 22 Kylie Horn passes it off
Starting point is 01:01:32 that is Kaufman there's Kaufman their best player been been pretty quiet most of the game those are doing great job of defending her but you know players like that they're going to get baskets here and there you got to live with that one yeah it's just I mean if you're scoring 18 points a game you're not going to keep them quiet the whole time the goal maybe is to shut them down for a quarter or something as we have the shot clock running out but there's turnover and that was that looks like it was Troyer with another basket was so 4641 the biggest lead either team has had this game yeah he'll still really got to get a basket here and the half game clock about the third quarter game clock about eight seconds behind the shot clock so we've got oh macdonald does not get a shot
Starting point is 01:02:32 kuffman has the ball moving down the court seven seconds left and Troyer puts up a three just kind of out of desperation it's no good so the third quarter will end with the pioneers of alone leading Chargers 4641. We're going to go to a quick break. You're listening to Charger Women's Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. We'll be right back after this. Welcome to the Astro Minute, where we're exploring the universe 60 seconds out of time. I'm Lauren Smith, and today we're highlighting some astronomical events to watch for this December. All seven planets are up this Christmas season, with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn bright to the naked eye. And Uranus and Neptune visible with binoculars.
Starting point is 01:03:27 The Geminid and Ercid meteor showers are active, peaking on December 13th and 22nd, respectively. Look for different colors in the unusual Geminid meteors. December may also see more aurora thanks to our active sun.

That's your Astro Minute.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. If you're just tuning in with us right now, the Malone pioneers lead the Chargers, 46 to 41. We're going into the fourth quarter. Very interesting game, both offensively and defensively so far. Yeah, I mean, back and forth. fourth back and forth. This might be the largest lead of the game, just five points. Actually, I think the largest lead for Malone might have been seven, but I mean, it's been so close the entire game. And you just can't let them pull away here early.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Got to close it down and play for those last couple of minutes. And it looks like Malone is going to get the ball to start. They pass it off to Abby Price. going inside and Kaufman is in the game now so they're going to need their best player for the final quarter of the game she does have three fouls so there's somebody else in their team I'm not really sure her but and as the shot clock winds down to four seconds they're going to get a foul call against laura macdonald lord macdonald not very happy with that call no not at all so it'll be the, what, Bryn Hunt, um,
Starting point is 01:05:41 inbounding the ball. Also playing some excellent defense here, not allowing any real penetration. And they'll get a block shot, rebound. We're in McDonald's with the ball to Mills. McDonald, shot clock down to 10 seconds. McCormick puts up a layup does not go in, rebounded by Malone. And then back to the chargers with the ball.
Starting point is 01:06:30 It's steeled by Kendall McCormickday. They're Splane. McDonald has the ball right now trying to get in. There's Savannah Smith. She puts up a layup, and I think she's going to get an end one. Yes, she is. Savannah Smith has a chance to cut the lead down to two. This is a big opportunity for the Chargers
Starting point is 01:07:01 to really start making to come back. It's not much if it's five points, but still. Scoring has been low this entire game. It's just a great basket right there. I mean, a great move. I'm able to draw the foul into it, put your shoulder down a little bit, but not too much to get the offensive foul. Free throw is good. So 46 to 44 for Malone. Still anybody's game is Miller to Kaufman.
Starting point is 01:07:39 And Kaufman puts up another shot. So she's starting to play like the player that she seems to be on the score sheet. Yeah, he was double teaming her earlier in the first half. Got to get back to that a little bit. If you have a scorer like that, if you shut her down even for one quarter even, it gives you a really good chance. Pioneers will get the ball back. 4844.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Got seven minutes and 45 seconds left. Kaufman hands the ball off to Kylie Horn who puts up a shot is 51-44 now so seven-point lead now a steal by Kaufman there like you said she's really turning on in this fourth quarter alone now up seven points
Starting point is 01:08:47 their biggest lead of the game trying to charge in there's this horn and Armstrong I think there's a foul call against McCormick. So you've got Ellie Bruce checking into the game for Savannah Smith. And Kaufman's going to be shooting two free throws here. It's not exactly the spot that you want to be in.
Starting point is 01:09:28 But then again, if there's a chance that you hold her to one point or something, if she misses a free throw, then a score like that, you might take it. And Kaufman knocks down the first, but misses the second. Like that. So they may be willing to take the trade of one. point rather than getting two or three another charger turnover gets the ball back to Balone quickly and Armstrong is outside the three point arc jump shot by Kylie Bruce of the pioneers is good and it looks like there's going to be a timeout called yeah Housdell's going to
Starting point is 01:10:18 call a timeout Malone now up 10 points so we're going to take a short media timeout just listening to radio three Holesdale 101.7 f out This is the Making of America from the Jefferson Media Group.

I'm Michael Emerson, and you can visit us at jeffersonmediagroup.com. Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. If you're just listening to us right now, Malone pioneers have a 10-point lead on the Chargers. Their biggest of the game, 54-44. There's still six minutes, 35 seconds left.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Very close game until this quarter where Malone's sort of kind of begun to pull ahead a little bit. Yeah, he'll still... They need to do something that haven't really done all game and go on a big run here. Can I have to score quick? I mean, time is a factor. Now there's only seven minutes left.
Starting point is 01:12:02 It's not quite as big of a factor. You know, you don't need to rush, but there needs to be a little bit of that sense of urgency as you're taking this basketball down the court. That's Caitlin Splain. Hands off to McDonald. Two guards, two senior guards in the game. There's Petrissick.
Starting point is 01:12:27 It gets a shot up, but does not go in. Yeah, Petrissick. I mean, I'm not. Honestly, a great look just kind of rolls around the room and falls out. Really unfortunate for Panasik, excuse me. Just really unfortunate that that ball did not fall. And then almost getting the offensive rebound, punched out, and just hit last off the chargers. And it's just, sometimes it doesn't go your way with those things.
Starting point is 01:13:01 And Miller has the ball looking for an opening. Finally is able to hand it off to Krupa. Kylie Bruce on the Bioners misses a jumper with two seconds left on the shot clock and attempted fast break the pass was just a little bit long for Ellie Bruce to be able to convert the layup those are the kind of ones though that you're going to need to
Starting point is 01:13:36 come back in this game I don't hate the attempt at all no it's it was a good it was a good try as Malone goes down and scores now 56 14 before from alone. There's Petrissick trying to get in. No good, but I think there's a foul call. Bruce able to grab Petrizzik's rebound off the missed shot and draw a foul on the layup.
Starting point is 01:14:14 So two crucial free throws here if you want to stay in this game. I have the lead down to 10. Four minutes and 50 seconds left to go here in this fourth quarter play. You need to get something going if you want to. I have a chance to pull off the comeback. Especially since you can probably expect Malone to maybe start playing a little bit slower since they are not in a rush to score points anymore. Yeah, I mean they took down the entire shot clock on that last possession.
Starting point is 01:14:44 The refs are talking about something. Having a little discussion over there. Maybe talking about what they're eating for dinner or something. I have no idea. Never really sure. It's really random sometimes that they're talking about. out of nowhere, they'll just blow the whistle dead, and they won't change any calls or anything.
Starting point is 01:15:03 They'll just talk and then walk away from each other. They'll pause the whole game for it. First free throw is good. So the Chargers are going to at least get some points out of their possession. And the second one is also good. So they're back within 10. It's 56-46. Four minutes, 50 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Yeah, he'll still starting to press here because they kind of have to. don't really have much of a choice. Need some big defensive stops and maybe need a three-point or two to cut down this lead and make it a more reasonable game. Malone's trying to take as much the shot clock out as possible. You're going to get a three-second violation on whoever was in the paint there and Hillsville's going to get the basketball there. That might have been number 11 on Malone would have been.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Yeah, the kind of errors though there that you cannot make. in this kind of game. Splean has the ball, passes to McDonald. Looking for someone to pass to. That's a splain. She gets the lay up. 5648. A few more possessions like that,
Starting point is 01:16:37 and then Chargers can probably get right back in this. Yeah, eight-point game now, cutting the lead down from 12, but it was. And Kaufman puts up a basket, does not go in, gets the rebound. And I think she gets fouled. She misses another shot, but she's going to be shooting two here. So two crucial free throws once again for Kaufman.
Starting point is 01:17:08 If she makes them both, it might be tough for the Chargers to come back. But if she misses one of them, even. The first one's good for Kaufman. Three minutes and 44 seconds left. Chargers down nine. So technically a three-possession game, but you're going to expect some twos. So they're going to need to go in here quick, which is going to miss the second one.
Starting point is 01:17:32 Chargers can put up a three, or that might take some pressure off. You don't want to just be shooting threes wildly, but you can get a setup. And they're going to get McCormick on the foul, or on the travel, but I do really think that she was fouled. Go kind of just slapped her arm. She's looking down at it in a little bit of pain. Yeah. So inbound to Kaufman, pass.
Starting point is 01:18:11 back to Hunt. You're going to get a foul here on Caitlin's plane, forcing them to inbound it again. So now they're one away from the double bonus. So any fouls from here on out will result in two free throws. It's not exactly what you want to have at this stage in the game. I'm looking for a way to get closer, trying to find an opening. There's an attempted three from Troyer. It's no good, but rebounded.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Also no good. Chargers moving down the court very fast. Pass to Smith, to Panassic. Back to Smith puts up a three, but it's no good. Offensive rebound. Panasic does not get a three, and Malone will have the ball back. Unfortunately, you get a couple possessions and you get some good looks, but you're not able to get the basket there for the chargers.
Starting point is 01:19:31 Thinking a little bit like some desperation time, down nine points. Looks like a foul against Panasics, so. And they're going to be shooting two free throws here. Brin Hunt of Malone will be shooting two. First one is in. 58, 48, 28, 2 minutes, 25 seconds left. Chargers are going to need to go quick here. I believe if they make it, they're going to call a timeout.
Starting point is 01:20:02 Yep, we're going to get a timeout from Chargers. Talking some strategy, talking about going fast, cheers.

With Fox on Tech, I'm Eben Brown, Fox News. Welcome back to Charger Women's Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. We have just over two minutes left. Malone is leading 5948.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Bad pass, it looks like, out of bounds. Those tips, so the chargers are going to maintain possession here. They're going to get it right by their own basket, so an opportunity for some quick points. Splane has the ball. She puts up a jumper, and it's good. 5950 for Malone. And they're probably going to start playing a lot slower now since it doesn't make much sense to get a quick
Starting point is 01:22:06 basket and get the ball right back to Hillsdale. Yeah, up nine points. Hillsdale needs to stop here. And then you get a three-point attempt from Malone and it's good. And that might be it. 12-point lead now by Malone. Hillsdale in need of a quick three and they just go out of bounds.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Malone basketball. They're just moving faster now because they don't have a lot of time left. Everything a little bit quicker, a little bit of desperation. There's going to be an attempted trap, so they get the double team, but Malone calls the timeout. So we're going to go to short media timeout. Hillsdale Chargers down 12, minute 31 left play in the fourth quarter of play for women's basketball. You're listening to Radio for Hillsdale 101.7 FM.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Welcome to the Astro Minute, where we're exploring the universe 60 seconds out of time. I'm Lauren Smith, and today we're highlighting some astronomical events to watch for this December. All seven planets are up this Christmas season, with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn bright to the naked eye, and Uranus and Neptune visible with binoculars. The Geminid and Ercid meteor showers are active, peaking on December 13th and 22nd, respectively. Look for different colors in the unusual Geminid meteors. December may also see more aurora thanks to our active sun. Beautiful winter constellations and objects include Orion with the Orion Nebula in his sword,
Starting point is 01:23:33 W-shaped Cassiopeia with the nearby Andromeda Galaxy and double cluster, the Pleiades and Hyades clusters, and all the stars of the heavenly G. And we remain alert for the recurrent Nova in Corona Borealis to suddenly appear to the naked eye. That's your Astro Minute. Welcome back to Charger Women's Basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.1.7 FM. We've got just under a minute and a half left. Malone leads the Chargers, 62 to 50. And it looks like there's just been a foul called against Kendall McCormick, giving Malone two more free throws.
Starting point is 01:24:17 That will be Abby Price putting up the shots. 90 seconds left, a four-possession game if she misses both free throws. She's going to make the first. Technically, a five-possession game here. Not looking good for the Chargers. They're going to be moving down the court really quickly after this one. McDonald, with it. shot charging at it offensive rebound by Kaufman on Malone and it looks like a foul so more free throw
Starting point is 01:24:58 attempts for Malone volunteers pioneers by mistake like we said earlier don't don't leave us after this game because we got the men's basketball team taking on Malone's men's basketball in this conference double header and Kaufman makes the first one and makes the second one so it's 66 to 50 this game was really close for three quarters so then malone kind of just pulled away as a big turnover and then another turnover so chargers turn it over malone turns it over right back McDonald's gotten fouled so I think she'll put up two free throws yeah yeah 56.1 seconds left chargers down 16 points just playing for their own pride at this point trying to keep it close looks like got a couple of players checking into the game
Starting point is 01:26:02 this natalie armstrong for the pioneers checking in macdonald's first free throw is good uh got second free throw is up and also good 66 52 yeah so like you said game was really really close for about the first three quarters and even the first half of the second quarter they got it back within one under five minutes and then Mullen really went on a run here to end of the game. A fast break
Starting point is 01:26:48 and a layup for Kylie Horn on Malone puts it back to a 16 point difference and this might be the Chargers lost possession of the game McDonald puts up a three now we've got the game clock just barely behind the shot clock so yeah less than a second separating the two there will be
Starting point is 01:27:22 barely about a second for the chargers so we have 10 seconds left on the shot clock yeah alone looking like they're just trying to dribble it out passing around charger's not going to foul here no and Kaufman so we're going to have 0.1 seconds left in the game clock I think there might be, yeah, there's basically just have to shoot it from the inbound. Yeah, 0.1 seconds left. So this is really going to be your final score here. Chargers fall to Malone, unfortunately, 68 to 52. And that's the game. So a back and forth game and then Malone just, I don't know, they score at least like 15, almost 20 points in the second half. But so that will be the final score, unfortunately.
Starting point is 01:28:25 Chargers are now one-and-one in conference play. Don't go away, though. We'll be back with Chargers men's basketball on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM.
