St. Charles North only drained three of 15 3-point shots in the last 16 minutes of the contest with Moline but the third one came at critical moment.
After hitting 50 percent of its shots from beyond the arc in the first half Monday, St. Charles North's 3-point shooting went cold in the second half of the North Stars' opening round game of the 38th Annual Komaromy Classic at Dundee-Crown.
The trey ended up being the winning shot as Moline turned to ball over on its ensuing possession, and St. Charles North ran out to clock for the win. With the victory, the North Stars advance to a quarterfinal contest at 2 p.m. Tuesday against Stevenson. St. Charles North jumped out to a 21-14 lead after the first quarter. The Maroons rallied in the second quarter to trail only 31-30 at halftime. An Erin Stack layup halfway through the quarter put St. Charles North up 31-18. Moline ended the quarter on a 12-0 run."Defensively, we weren't even playing close to what we needed to in terms of intensity. Our ability to rebound wasn't there," Tomczak said.
The drought ended with 1:17 left on the clock. Katrina Stack hit it to tie the game at 52-52. Caroline Hazen, who led Moline with 11 points, scored to return the lead to the Maroons with 33.9 seconds left. Hughes made the winning shot on the North Stars' next possession.
