Mustangs Take Second Place Finish
Schneckville, Pa. – After blowing by the Colonials of the Community College of Philadelphia 91-73 in Saturday’s EPCC semi-final championship game, the Montgomery County Community College Mustangs were looking to repeat that performance in Sunday’s final against the number 1 seeded Lehigh Carbon Community College Cougars.
But the Mustangs stepped onto the court with hesitation. Scoring only 17 points in the first half, the Mustangs’ lack-luster performance left them with a 22 point deficit.
Down 17-39 at the start of the second half, the Mustangs were determined to turn the game around. Mustangs teammates Mercedes Harris (Norristown) and Lauren Zoltek (Lansdale Catholic), who tallied game totals of 26 and 10 points respectively, led the team in a second half surge. The Cougars crumbled under the pressure allowing the Mustangs 7 more points than them during the half, but the Mustangs fell short of a comeback. Ultimately the Cougars came out on top, winning the Championship title by a score of 73-58.
The outstanding efforts of Harris and Zoltek earned them spots on the EPCC All-Tournament Team.
