Feb. 24 - Orem 50, Murray 44
Story of the game: Maggie Plothow scored 19 points and Lisa Love
had 14 as Orem upset cold-shooting Murray in the opening round of
the 4A state tournament.
Murray's key moment: The Spartans had trouble shooting, and
became the first No. 1 seed to be ousted from the tourney. Murray
shot 32 percent overall, and just 25 percent (6-24) from three-point
range. Amy White led Murray with 18 points, while Mariah Duran had
11.
Orem's key moment: The Tigers were able to get ahead early, and
the added momentum was evident as the game progressed. Lauren
Chung-Hoon hit three of four free throws late in the game to clinch it.
Statistical notes: Orem had a record of 9-13 entering the game.
White and Duran each had three treys for Murray. Four of five Region
6 teams were defeated in the first round.
What we learned from this game: Certainly Murray had higher
aspirations than losing in the opening round, but it shows that
anything can happen in post-season, and getting off to a good start is
important.
Next: Murray finished the season with a 14-6 record. Orem advanced
to play rival Mountain View.

quarter, but built a 14-point margin after the second and third periods.

8-23. East is averaging just 32 points in region play.

Spartans outscored Highland 8-3 in the extra session. Mariah Duran

it didn't shoot free throws very well.

were held to just 11 points in the first half, and didn't have enough to
make a rally. Heather Giffin was the top scorer with eight points.

7-13. Oly's 30 points was its lowest since the Riverton game Dec. 4.

and kept the advantage until the final period. The Spartans played
without leading scorer Mariah Duran and were still able to get the win.

had 10.

was 9-17. Murray had six three-pointers (Saltas 3, White 2, Woodard),

them the lead, which they kept throughout. All of Duran's baskets

4-11. Amy Christensen had eight points for West. The Panthers

and kept the advantage until the final period. The Spartans played
