Mustangs split with Brandon Valley

A Game: Memorial went on the road to Brandon and fell to the home team, 32-22. Both teams started strong offensively. The Lynx continued their hot shooting in the second quarter to take control of the game. The Mustangs battled back in the second half, but they were unable to complete the comeback.
Coach Hoegh says: "We're going to be in a lot of games where it just takes a few important stops and some shots to go down, and we didn't quite get those tonight. It can be easy to point fingers at others when you lose a game, but this team isn't going to do that. We get to go to work, as a team, and try to get better for our next one."

B Game: The Mustangs defeated the Lynx in a tight game, winning by a score of 30-22. Brandon Valley got off to a quick start, but Memorials depth was a factor in chipping away at the lead. Despite having a size disadvantage in the post, Memorial controlled the paint late in the game to maintain a slim margin in the 4th quarter.
Coach Hoegh says: "This was a great win. It was good to see our team rise to the occasion late in the game. I saw the confidence - in ourselves and each other - grow as the game went on. Hopefully that continues for the rest of the season."
