The Dolores Lady Bears (10-7) dropped a nail-biter in overtime to Ouray (8-8) last Friday, but they bounced back with a win on parent\u2019s night at home against Ridgway (5-13) on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Dolores had taken down the Trojans earlier this season, 49-22, but on Friday, Ouray got the best of the visiting Bears, winning the second contest in overtime, 44-43.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was a little worried going into Ouray that it was like a trap game,\u201d said head coach Larry Schwartz. \u201cAnd we ended up losing in overtime by one. We ended up getting beat by kind of underestimating somebody that we had blown out earlier in the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
But on Saturday back at home, the Lady Bears came back focused and took down the Ridgway Demons on parent\u2019s night.<\/p>\n
The Demons came out firing, and Dolores trailed 15-12 after one, but they regrouped and outscored the Demons 44-10 in the final three frames.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe told the girls we wanted to do what we do best, and that\u2019s press and get back into our 1-3-1 and our 2-3,\u201d said Schwartz. \u201cAnd doggone if we didn\u2019t give up 15 points in the first quarter. I called a timeout and I probably got on the girls harder than I had all season, and they responded.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over half of Dolores\u2019 scoring came from behind the 3-point line, as the Lady Bears connected on 10 triples.<\/p>\n
Senior Larissa Umberger knocked down two from deep in the first quarter and finished with four 3-pointers and a team-high 16 points.<\/p>\n
Tegan Hite and Nicole Kibel each added two 3-pointers and Madi Archuleta and Aryelle Wright connected on one apiece in the Bears\u2019 56-25 win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting for a game like that where they just let it rain,\u201d said Schwartz. \u201cWe came in here today in our own gym with a great crowd, because it was parent appreciation day, and the girls just lit it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were going back-and-forth between man-to-man and zone,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd when they went to zone we were just finding those open spots and the girls did a really great job of hitting the threes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Umberger led the Lady Bears with 16 points in the win and Wright finished with 11. Kibel added eight points and Hite and Josie Majors each scored six.<\/p>\n
The Lady Bears have one regular season game remaining, in a contest against the Mancos Lady Blue Jays (8-8) in Dolores on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
