Firebirds Come Up Short at St. Norbert College

DE PERE, Wis. — The Carthage women's basketball team dropped game one of a weekend tournament, coming up short against St. Norbert College 53-47 on Friday night at the Mulva Family Fitness and Sports Center.

The tournament's host was first on the board, before Ayanna Ester and Lauren Hermann scored on back-to-back possessions to make it an 8-5 game. After Lauren Knight got the Firebirds (1-2) within one, a three-pointer by Emma Thistle put Carthage on top 10-8. However, it was the Green Knights (1-1) that held the lead at the end of the first quarter, 13-10.

The defense shined in the second quarter, and despite scoring eight points, the Firebirds held St. Norbert to just 11, leading to a halftime score of 24-18 in favor of the home team. After leading by as much as 10 points minutes into the second half, Carthage trimmed the deficit to two, as a layup and made free throw on a three-point-play by Bridget Barrett made it 34-32 with just under three minutes left in the third quarter. While the Firebirds kept it close in the final period, tying the game at 42 with three minutes left in the game, St. Norbert would go on to win.

Carthage plays game two at the St. Norbert tournament tomorrow, November 13, against Saint Mary's College at 1 p.m.
