Starting point is 00:40:05 seven minute break and we'll see you soon. You're listening to Chargers Women's Basketball here at Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM. Welcome back everybody to Don Tippett's Potter Arena on Radio Free Hillsdale 101.7 FM.
Starting point is 00:40:23 I'm Gabe. joined by Don't Dario. You're listening to Hillsdale College Women's Basketball here against the playing against the Tiffin Dragons your charges
Starting point is 00:40:36 currently trail 32 to 34 got about eight minutes until the second half starts let's what do you
Starting point is 00:40:45 what do you think it's so far Dylan well I mean this game has had multiple shifts in momentum for sure it started out
Starting point is 00:40:52 Hillsdale was in control and then Tiffin went on a wrecking ball or run Coach calls timeout, get our heads back on, and to the centers for both teams just went back and forth. And one, and one.
Starting point is 00:41:05 You know, just jump shot, mid-range, just scoring every single time. And just in transition, too, the transition game has been key, especially for Tiffin. They have had probably half their points coming off the transition. Absolutely. Transition defense is definitely, currently the greatest weakness for this Chargers team. But one of their biggest strengths is Savannah Smith. I believe she's dropped 14 points, 14 or 16 points out of her teams 32 in the first half,
Starting point is 00:41:35 including a big time three point shot, some step back fadeaways in the low post, you know, some, you know, some shack downs and putting up some layups. And she's just doing it all tonight for this Chargers team. Certainly she had the hot hand to finish the half there too, especially when that three ball went down that's how you know she had the high hand absolutely she looked cool calm and collected on the sideline and on the court
Starting point is 00:42:04 now opposed to her is the tiffin five garyana overton and she's having just as big of a night herself with two for the momentum it was big back to back and one layups possessions for the dragons
Starting point is 00:42:21 and she made both and one free throws and she's also having a lights out game this is the Battle of the Bigs that's what we are predicting the Fives we called that early on
Starting point is 00:42:35 during this halftime break while we were away yesterday was national women women in sports day women's in sports day and so we had all of the lady chargers out on the court celebrating
Starting point is 00:42:51 them cheering them on as they pass t-shirts into the crowd volleyball, softball, basketball is obviously in the locker room, track and field. I think I'll swim out there? Swim. Probably tennis, maybe? Tennis, definitely.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Celebrating all of the women here at the Hillsdale College Athletic Department. Some of the lucky fellows who caught t-shirts from our chargers was we got some football players in the corner, Evan Beannick, Gavin Chenevy, Zach Affalter, and John Metzker.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Some Hillsdale football coaches in the stands. Coach Deckerd, linebackers coach. And what could be coach Calvin up in the top right corner of the stands. That's to be confirmed, though. We got some men's basketball players down in the corner, C.J. Yarian, and Cole McQuinney, some other notable names out here,
Starting point is 00:44:03 working the event staff, mopping the floors, making sure that all of our athletes stay safe, is Hillsdale College quarterback, Colin McCurnan, Tiffin prepares to take the court. Again, this is a big-time matchup for your charge. Your charges currently sit at number eight in the GMAC women's basketball standings. they are 10 and 8 6 and 6.
Starting point is 00:44:35 4 context. The top 8 teams make the playoffs or the GMAQ tournament and vibe for a GMAQ championship. And this game means just as much for the Chargers as it does for Tiff. And Tiffin's currently the ninth seed.
Starting point is 00:44:53 9 and 11 and 4 and 9 overall against GMAQ competition. So a loss to the dragons does not mean the dragons will jump your chargers, but it definitely brings them just one game apart. And more importantly, if Hillsdale wins, they enter a three-way tie for six, seventh, and eighth place with Ashland and Walsh universities at seven and six overall in the G-MAC, putting them only one game behind Fifth C. Finley.
Starting point is 00:45:27 So a win here tonight, and they are right back in the mix. a loss and they are fighting to crawl, they're fighting to maintain possession of the eighth seed. Another tidbit for your chargers is they are currently undefeated at home, a perfect 7-0. The many repeat fans and seasoned veterans in this stadium have never seen the Lady Chargers lose this season. A perfect 7-0 at home being tested by Tiffin,
Starting point is 00:46:01 your chargers currently trail them 32 to 34 at halftime both teams out here now get some shots up getting warm for the half only 2.30 until we tip off second half. I think one of the biggest things Hillsdale has to do as good as Savannah Smith and Ellie Bruce have played at the five tonight Hillsdale needs to start making some of their three-point shots. They have made some. Salarski, Petrusick, and Savannah Smith all have some big threes for this team.
Starting point is 00:46:39 But this season, they've been prolific shooting 34.4% from the three-point. And they lead the G-MAC and rank the top 25 nationally as the three-point shooting team. And we just haven't seen that elite three-point shooting tonight. Part of it is because Tiffin has been doubling Petracek all night. One of the best three-point shooters in the G-MAC and in the country. in addition to Petrusik, Emma Rulman, Sarah Alkenetius, and the twins, Amelia and Magdalena Slarski, also are normally very good three-point shooters.
Starting point is 00:47:16 So just getting them open and get some open shots, that's definitely going to be huge for this Chargers team. The other reason these charges win is because they're unselfish. They're a team full of high-character women who, you know, they do things the right way, and none of them are spotlight-hungry. Even Petrazek who has every right to, you know, crave the big three-point shots. And, you know, with her ability, she could easily justify taking, you know, more shots than she does. But this team is very selfless and it's very team-oriented.
Starting point is 00:47:53 They average 14.7 assists per game. That's one of their big-time strengths. That is second in the GMAC at 29th in the nation. Overall, four assists. I'd also like to mention Tiff had a lot of their points coming out of transition I think that if Hillsdale can just slow tempo down a little bit on defense you know
Starting point is 00:48:20 force to try to run some plays they've looked really good once they've set up down there on the defensive side absolutely and you know if they can win tonight they'll improve to a perfect 8 and 0 at home and that's huge for this team because five of their last eight conference games
Starting point is 00:48:37 after tonight are at home So, you know, just you keep dominating in your home state, you defend Don Tibbet's Potter Arena, and, you know, they'll go dancing. And all you got to do is make the tournament, anything can happen. But that will bring us back to the second half. About to start shortly. Looks like the Chargers will have possession to start the game. Start the second half, sorry.

This is The Making of America from the Jefferson Media Group. How do you eliminate a nuclear threat without starting a nuclear war? That was the crisis facing President John F. Kennedy for 13 days in October of 1962 as the entire world watched in fear. U.S. spy planes had confirmed the Soviet Union was installing nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles in Cuba, capable of reaching America's heartland. A direct attack on those installations was not an option,
Starting point is 00:55:58 as Kennedy expected that would evoke possible direct military confrontations with the Soviet Union. However, a breakthrough was reached when the Soviets agreed to withdraw their long-range missiles from Cuba if the U.S. would remove their medium-range missiles from Italy and Turkey.

About a city named after perhaps one of the coolest people in American history, Houston, Texas. Founded on August 30th, 1836 by land investors, the city gets its name from the general and politician Sam Houston. Houston led Texas to independence from Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto, just 25 miles from the future site of Houston, Texas, and taking place months before the city's founding. The city served as the capital of the Republic of Texas, which existed from March 2, 1836 to February 19th, 1846, before it became the 28th state. Houston, the man, served as the president of the Republic of Texas for most of its existence,
Starting point is 01:05:22 and was one of the inaugural senators representing Texas after it became a state. He is a long and impressive military career and was a respected politician.

They're still down by two points. But if they can keep the momentum coming out of the timeout here, that would be big time. You know, just slowing it down on defense, taking control on offense, feed the big girls down low. That's been working really well for them all game.

Starting point is 01:22:09 What are your thoughts, Dylan? I mean, there is a minute and 20 seconds left, 80 seconds left in this ball game. They're down by two. They have possession here. you gotta hope we draw up a good play and we execute it to the best of their abilities. If you're Coach Brennan, do you design a play a two-point shot for one of your postplayers, Bruce or Smith, or do you design an open shot for one of the Slarsky twins or Petrusik for three? You know, being down by two with a minute 20 left, you're going to have more possessions,
Starting point is 01:22:38 so it's not crazy to draw up a three-point play, but I would play a conservative. I would try to get yourself a bucket, tie it up. Go down and rely on our defense. Our defense has been really solid all night. As long as we can stop in transition, I think we have a great shot of holding them on defense. So let's get two points here, play some good defense. Let the points come. I agree.
Starting point is 01:22:58 If I'm Coach Brennan, I'm drawing up a play for number 21, Junior 5, Savannah Smith. Absolutely. She's been playing lights out today. Three point shots, fadeaway jumpers, deep twos, layups. She's been doing it all tonight for the Chargers. Then for your chargers is number 21, Savannah Smith, 23.

They trails 61 to 63, 59.8 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Petrusik passes the inbound
Starting point is 01:24:42 to Alucanetius. But Gary, Gary on Overton gets our hands in there and forces a jump ball. It will be Tiffin basketball. Overton has been leading this Dragon's team both on offense and defense. We go to another timeout. And, well,
Starting point is 01:25:03 Chargers need to get another stop. We're in the same position, but 23 seconds have passed. A couple missed shots from both sides have brought us here. Don Tibbs Potter is tense right now. What is your game playing here for the coach? I think you need to funnel everything. What I would do is I would load up the paint
Starting point is 01:25:30 and force them to try and shoot. the three-point shot, get this ball off, because they have not shot well from three so far today. Neither team has, to be quite frank, but if I'm coach Brandon, now I'm calling the defense. I'm making sure that we guard the one, two, and three, and just make sure Gary on Overton doesn't make a crazy play down low like an N1 layup again. Tiffin inbounds the ball. Megan Campbell catches the inbound pass for Tiffin. Campbell passes to
Starting point is 01:26:10 McGee McGee passes to a teammate back over to Campbell Ball almost goes out of bounds saved by Campbell passes to Neaters Neaters with her second double dribble in
Starting point is 01:26:27 about three possessions it'll be Charger basketball again they trail 61, 63 40 seconds left in the fourth quarter that has got to be uncharacteristic for two double dribbles in the last, I mean, 40 seconds of game clock, but unbelievable there. But it's playing in the Chargers favor for sure.
Starting point is 01:26:49 Tiffin is playing an unbelievably sloppy game on all fronts, double dribbles, stepping out of bounds on down near the sideline with the ball in the corner, multiple times, travels. They've just played a very sloppy game of basketball, yet they've done enough on defense to hold a two-point lead over the Chargers. currently. Chargers will probably have one, maybe two more looks, you know, at getting a bucket here. They need two or three to take the lead.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Absolutely. Everyone here in Dodgers Potter Arena is very tense. Stressable game here. An undefeated, a perfect home record. A perfect 8-0 home record is on the line currently. and a chance to tie for the fifth seed in the GMAC also on the line right now

Starting point is 01:28:12 to Maddie Zinn. Smith who dribbles by a dragon defender brings it back out to the three-point line by the logo looks if they're holding the ball right now it could almost think maybe they're trying to set up a game winning three-pointer possibly trying to get the last shot of the game savannah smith has the ball at the free throw line passes to petrazic over to open al-canetius it's died air al-a-kinesia with a big-time layup for your charges wide open your charges are currently tied 63 to 63 against the Tiffin University Dragons.
Starting point is 01:28:53 13 seconds left. What a play. With 13 seconds to spare the chargers get the bucket, they've been looking for for the last 70 seconds, which the last 70 seconds has felt like a lifetime. It's been hours over here in Don Tibbitts Potter Arena. The atmosphere definitely just lightened up
Starting point is 01:29:16 after that ball went in. I think everyone is still on the edge of their seats. Absolutely. And now you need to drop a defense to prevent any sort of game-winning shot out of Tiffin. And hey, we might get some free basketball here tonight. What is your defensive scheme here? They got to take the ball all the left to court. They have 13 seconds.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Nothing is allowed. You need to play tight defense. You can't do what Tiffin did. and leave a guard wide open in the paint, obviously. But I think you really, you got to keep the ball out of Gariana Overton's hands. Number five for Tiffin. Force one of the guards to shoot a deep three, but do not let Overton get the last bucket.
Starting point is 01:30:09 And for your charges on the defensive possession, Grulman, Maddie Smith, Petrusick, Savannah Smith, and Alucanetius. Neaters passes in to Overton.

She was diving for a jump ball, got up, and then I kind of bumped a Tiffin player there, right in front of the ref, and, you know, wrong place, wrong time. Yeah, I personally disagree with the call, but I'm not the one wearing the stripes. I'm currently wearing a Hillsdale hoodie.

Probably looking to hold the ball here for a little bit. I don't know if it's any strategy to play a better free throw shooters in the court now. Not sure what Tiff is going to try to do here. Whether they're going to try to foul or just ride it out and see if they can dig out of the four point deficit. We'll see. How about Annalise Petrusick?
Starting point is 01:41:26 We talked all night about how good of a three-point shooter she is. She has lit the switch in the second half and overtime here.

Starting point is 01:43:05 Being the lights out shooter that she was, she probably looked around and realized it was smarter to just let herself get fouled than to potentially risk a turnover by passing one of her teammates. Her shot goes up and is good. She prepares a second. Take her second shot. Goes up and is good.
Starting point is 01:43:28 74-67. Your charges lead. 37 seconds left in overtime. After a... insanely close, regular time, I guess you could say. You know, going to overtime, Hillsdale has looked very dominant in this overtime. Tiffin has gotten little to nothing going on offense, and Hillsdale is having your way on offense. This is, I think, what we see when you've got a really good coach and Coach Brennan,
Starting point is 01:43:55 where you can, you know, you just put your team in a position to win. All you got to do is keep it close at the end, and you give an extra five minutes to play, and now they're running away with it. Your charges take the court again. That's Petra Zalachia. Magdalena Solarski. Sarah Alucanis, Savannah Smith, and Emma Rulman.

Starting point is 01:45:07 Back to Campbell. Who passes, shoots. Blocked by rule. With a great block and steel, and she'll go to the free throw line after Tiffin fouled her. They lead, charges lead 74, 70, 20 seconds left in overtime. Emma Rulman, the senior captain of this team at the free throw line. One of the hardest workers on this team. She's made countless effort plays, whether it was a steal or a rebound,
Starting point is 01:45:42 down the court, which is the only one down the court for the Chargers. She puts her first shot up and is good. Preparers for her second shot, dribbles, shoots it, and is good. Your Chargers now lead 76 to 70. 20 seconds left in overtime. I think it's safe to say this game is looking up for the charges. Definitely looking up for the charges. They hold this, barring any catastrophic collapse,
Starting point is 01:46:18 and they will improve to 8-0 at home. 7 and 6 in conference play tied for 5th with Ashlyn Walsh in the G-Max standings and 11 and 8 overall. With a loss, Tiffin would fall to, sorry, with a loss, Tiffin University would fall to... Four and ten. Four and ten. In conference play.
Starting point is 01:46:49 And all but eliminate them from contention to make the GMAC tournament. Tiffin makes an inbound pass. Campbell. Passes over to number two neaters. Three-point shot is good. Your charges now lead 76, 73. 14 seconds left in overtime. You know it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:47:21 Every time you think Tiffin's out of the ball game, they go ahead and make a nice-looking three-point shot. And just like that, it's a three-point ball game. One possession there. Absolute dagger out of Tiffin's number two, Niedurst. It isn't important to note neither team has any timeout slats. So after this timeout, it's box running for 14 seconds, and it is what it is. Through Hillsdale, you're just trying to keep Tiffon fouling. And if they do have to file, make sure you're wearing,
Starting point is 01:47:58 or make sure you've got a lights out shooter like Beatrizak number 23, folding the ball. Currently in is, besides Petrusick, is Maddie Smith, Savannah Smith, Emma Rulman. Number five, Sarah Allen Kineshius, making the in-bounds pass. Passes to Maddie Smith, ball goes out of bounds, and they call it Tiffin basketball. Although I thought that... It looked like Tiffin player just knocked it out of the hillside players' hands,
Starting point is 01:48:25 but, you know, we're up here in the Crow's Nest. We can't always see that well. Absolutely. And the clock didn't even start. It's still 13.4 seconds left. Megan Campbell takes the inbound pass for Tiffin. Tiffin. Give and go pass.
Starting point is 01:48:42 Whoa! A Tiff player tackled Emma Rulman. Being pulled down from behind while going for the loose ball.
