What wonders a good nights sleep can do. The Vogues put on a clinic, beating an extremely athletic and talented Lady Liberty team, 64-44. It was awesome basketball at both ends of the court. This win moved the Vogues into the championship game against the team that had beaten them by 15, the MD Shooting Stars. It was a well played game by both teams but the Shooting Stars ran in to a problem...conditioning...they couldn't keep up with the pace of the game. Result...Vogues 52 - Shooting Stars 46.
