Divine Savior Holy Angels whipped Brookfield Central handily Friday night at Central, 41-35, and turned the Greater Metro Conference into a 3-horse race.
The Dashers defense kept the Lady Lancers at bay all night, while Central struggled trying to run its offense. DSHA led 9-5 after one period and 19-13 at half-time and used that advantage the rest of the way as the teams played to a 22-22 tie in the second half. It took until the fourth period for either team's offense to really explode, as Central had an 18-17 advantage.
DSHA shut down Jesse Thomas (7), who had 15 points in their first meeting, for most of the game and Maggie Mattiacci took only two shots the entire game. Erin Lueder scored 10 points and Valerie Rose Agnello managed eight points, six in the fourth quarter.
Christina Kurcz had 12 points, nine coming on three 3-pointers, as she led all scorers. Erin Levenhagen (9), Elizabeth Linnemanstons (8) and Kelly Brandenburg (7) also played key roles for the Dashers.
Central and DSHA are now tied for first at 7-1 and West Allis Central is 7-2 with the second half of the season to play.
