It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact the Central Indians can now relate to. They took a 56-48 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Thunderbirds on Saturday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Central of the 71-60 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture last Friday.
Despite the loss, Central still got an impressive performance from Taylin Wade, who scored 18 points along with six rebounds and three steals. Wade has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last six times she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Izzy Kelly, who scored ten points along with three steals.
Central has not been sharp recently as the team has lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 15-9 record this season. As for East, they are on a roll lately: they've won 16 of their last 17 matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 24-3 record this season.
Central does not have any more games scheduled as of now. East's road trip will continue as they head out to face Star Valley at 4:30 p.m. on March 7th. Star Valley will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something East surely won't give up without a fight.
