After splitting games in a back-to-back last weekend, the Dolores Lady Bears (6-4) are back at it this weekend with two more games in two days.<\/p>\n
Last Friday, after getting down early, the Lady Bears were unable to come back in a 41-32 loss at Norwood (9-1).<\/p>\n
\u201cNorwood played really good man-to-man defense,\u201d said Dolores head coach Larry Schwartz. \u201cWe got a little frustrated. We were within eight or 10 points, we just couldn\u2019t get over that hump. Even with 1:40 left we were still within eight or 10 points, we just couldn\u2019t climb that hill. We dug that hill in the first quarter, otherwise we played them neck-and-neck the whole way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Larissa Umberger led the Lady Bears with 10 points, Nicole Kibel added eight and Aryelle Wright scored seven.<\/p>\n
Dolores bounced back the following afternoon with a 49-22 win over Ouray (5-4) at home.<\/p>\n
The Lady Bears jumped out to a 9-0 lead early, but the Trojans clawed back to within five to end the first quarter 11-6.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a little layoff in the first quarter where we let them catch up a little bit,\u201d said Schwartz. \u201cAnd then we switched to our \u2018lightning,\u2019 which is that 1-2-1-1, and that frustrated them and that\u2019s where we got our big spurt.\u201d<\/p>\n
Swarming the Trojans with their lightning press, the Lady Bears used a 19-0 second-quarter run to go into halftime up 30-6, and they would move on to win 49-22.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we get that lightning going the girls just feed off it,\u201d said Schwartz. \u201cThe press was the difference.<\/p>\n
Kibel led the Lady Bears with 12 points \u2013 scoring seven in the first frame \u2013 and Madi Archuleta added 10.<\/p>\n
Tatum Majors scored eight points for Dolores, Wright chipped in six and Kitty Wallace scored four.<\/p>\n
The Lady Bears start a six-game road trip on Friday at Ridgway (2-5), and then play at Nucla (7-3) on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
