Sunday, March 14, 2010 Tue DALLAS POST PAGE 11 Lake-Lehman's Gaby Olshemski and Selena Adam- shick defend against Meyers. he Lake-Lehman girls’ basketball team punched a ticket to the state championship tournament on March 5 with a 4529 win over division foe Meyers at Wyoming Valley West High School in the District 2 Class 2A consolation game. After a sluggish and turnover- @. start for both Meyers and Lehman, it looked as if Meyers was hitting its stride early in the second quarter. The Mohawks ended the first and started the second quarter with baskets that cut Lehman's lead to one point and had the Knights’ top scorer, Selena Adamshick, in check with physi- cal defense. On more than one occasion, Adamshick found herself on the floor after a hard pick or a way- ward elbow. However, the Knights refused to get rattled. After Jessica Neare and Adam- shick traded baskets on four straight trips down the court, Lake-Lehman stretched its lead to nine. Gabby Olsehmski was fouled on a three-point attempt with 1.1 seconds to go and easily converted all three free throws for a commanding 20-8 lead at the half. Neare stepped up after Meyers’ run to score on back-to- back trips down the court to slow the rally. A pair of free-throws from Niki Sutliff and an Adam- shick three-pointer quelled it completely and sent Lehman into the fourth quarter with a 29-17 lead. The Mohawks came out in the final stanza taking their shots to get back in the game, but it just wasn’t enough offense as the @oictes iced the game from the ‘free throw line as the quarter wore on.
