The Bruriah Lightening came out strong with senior Gabi Goldberg sinking a 3 point shot to start the game. Junior Gabrielle Thurm posed a threat early grabbing key rebounds and hitting important shots to keep the Lightening in the game. The tenacious defense of Frisch senior Rebecca Bock would help hold Bruriah’s senior guard Jessie Orgel to minimal points in the hard-fought championship battle. Bruriah Lightening would go into halftime up by one point.

In the second half the Frisch Cougars came out fighting hard, determined to secure the victory. Key 3 point shots by seniors Sarah Lieberman and Atarah Kaner would put the Cougars up early in the second half. It was the Cougars’ tough defense of the that allowed them to maintain a lead throughout the second half of play. This lead would go onto secure a long awaited victory for the Frisch Cougars. Congratulations to the varsity women’s yeshiva league champion Frisch Cougars!
