However, one of the evening's exciting 0ccurrences was the come-from-behind win by the junior varsity. Trailing most of the entire game, the young ladies rallied in the end in grand fashion. In the fourth quarter, the Celtics were down 46-38 and then scored the next 13 points while holding the Warriors scoreless! Pressure on defense combined with steals, turnovers, and fast breaks made the difference. Top scorers for O'Hara were freshmen Kayla McGee (13) and Julia Runser (9).
