Texas D-1 Ambassadors 43 Maryland Horizon 40
Our first game on Sunday was at 8am. The girls got plenty of rest and came ready to compete. This was one of the best games in the tourney. D-1 really played hard down the stretch to close out a tough horizon group out of Maryland. With under a minute to play and the game tied. 2013 G 5'9 Carly Truesdale took her man to the cup and got the and 1 to put us in the lead for good.
