The Lady Hilltoppers traveled to highly ranked HP and played their worst basket ball of the year in dropping a 40-55 decision. The story of the game was the first half. Summit jumped out to a quick 6-2 lead in the first two minutes on two great offensive plays by Jenna Wilson and an awesome turnaround jumper off a post up move by Shannon Murphy. But HP called timeout and then played inspired basketball and Summit shot 1-14 the rest of the first half. Summit couldn't get on track offensively, couldn't get a rebound, and turned the ball over too much. The second half was a little better as Summit came out to play more aggressively and got more shots off, and dominated the fourth quarter, with Danielle Scott (16 points) and Danielle Allocco (9 points) leading the way back, but the Lady Hilltoppers never got closer than 10 points as HP played stifling defense, made excellent passes to the open man, and missed three free throws the entire game.
