Halftime update

Messiah 51, Oglethorpe 33

Very fast paced first half, as the score would indicate. Messiah started out slow, but opened the game up quickly with a 13-0 run after Oglethorpe had hit a 3 to go up 10-9. The Falcons have had the ultimate in inside/out attack, with Lauren Schurr bombing away, along with a little help from her friends, for 6 made 3 pointers, and Sal Shani dominating inside with 14 points off the bench.

Oglethorpe has a decided height disadvantage, and Messiah has exploited that to dominate the glass, particularly the offensive glass. Messiah's real strength is the perimeter, so if Oglethorpe can't hold their own in the paint, the story of this game won't change much in the 2nd half.
