Lehman opens season with 15 threes

Sunday, 30 November 2008

Lehman got its first girls basketball season under coach Mark Lindenauer off to a memorable start Saturday at home.

Not only did the Lady Cavs roll to an 84-34 victory over outmanned Bradford, they also lit up the gym with 15 three-pointers.

Freshman Terra Vanover led the long-range assault with five threes, just one short of the school record. That led to her leading the way in scoring with 21 points.

Older sister Brooke Vanover had 17, Christie Freytag added 16, and Brittney Homan finished with 11.

“It was great to get a win in the opener, but this game does not define us,” said Lindenauer, whose team faces a much tougher test Saturday at Minster.

The Lady Cavs jumped to a 29-8 lead after one quarter and breezed to the win.
