By halftime, however, they only trailed 21-17. The Fillies were behind at one point of the game by 10 points but stormed back, sparked by great defense. The Fillies kept chipp ing away at the lead but fell short, losing 33-31. Heppner allowed only two points in the fourth quarter but managed to shoot only 25 percent the whole game. Holly Eckman led the Fillies with 11 points. The Fillies would face Enter prise, who lost earlier to Dayton, 55-47, on Saturday. The Fillies responded to their loss to Mac-Hi on Saturday with an impressive win against Enter prise to start the tournament’s se cond day. Led by Holly Eckman, who scored 23 points and was named to the all tournament team, the Fillies shot an unbelievable 50 percent from the floor. Helped by the Savages’ poor shooting from the line, the Fillies went on to post an impressive victory winn ing 60^*6 and a third place spot.
