Saturday was Lane Tech’s National Women’s Day in Sports Shootout. I made to the DePaul Prep v. Jones game. It was my first DePaul Prep women’s game of the year.
The Rams and the Eagles played a back and forth game. The Rams led 15-10 at the end of the first quarter, trailed 26-21 at the half and led 32-19 at end of the third. The fourth?
Would the Eagles rebound as they had? DePaul Prep would have none of it. The Rams and the young but experienced coach Sarah Zarymbski would have none of that. The Rams played smothering defense and make their free throws to come away with a convincing 44-34 victory.
