After leading much of the game during the 3rd round of bracket play, the Defenders suffered their most painful loss of the tourney as the Missouri Liberty Trailblazers made a late comeback to beat us 53-50. Our girls played extremely well all week against some of the best competition in the country, with three of our four losses by 4 points or less. The AAU National tournament was an outstanding experience for our team and we feel very fortunate to have received a bid and be a part of this elite field of 32 teams. Our goal for next year is to make it to the 13u AAU National Championships in Tennessee!
