I was at this game. FSHP had a poor first half. They turned the ball over numerous times. For NC, Fenske had a ton of assits. She would stand out in 3-point area and wait for a teammate to cut to the basket. She had no problem seeing over the defenders and did a very could job at passing to the basket cutters.
In my view, a box and 1 would be a good defense against NC. If a team has a good-sized defender that can get up into Fenske's grill and make it difficult for her to pass to cutters, I think that team will make life difficult for NC. If you can make Fenske put the ball on the floor and have zone help if she beats her defender you wil take NC out of their game. After seeing them play 3 times this year I do not think they are a jump shooting team. I think if a team can handle NCs first half pressure and take away their inside game that team wil win the game.
The team that is most capable of doing this in District 2 is Central Cass. The team most capable of doing this in Region 1 is FairmountCT.
