Clyde ends season with loss to Hathaway Brown in Final 4

From staff reports

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Clyde Lady Fliers were handed their first and only loss of the 2012–13 sea­son Thursday.

Clyde ended its sea­son with a 57–38 defeat against the Shaker Heights Hath­away Brown Lady Blaz­ers in a Divi­sion II girls bas­ket­ball state semi­fi­nal at the Jerome Schot­ten­stein Cen­ter on the cam­pus of The Ohio State Uni­ver­sity in Columbus.

Clyde’s appear­ance Thurs­day in the state semi­fi­nal was its sec­ond in three years. Nei­ther trip to state has resulted in a state title game berth, however.

The Lady Fliers (27–1), the No. 1 team in the final Asso­ci­ated Press poll, weren’t much of a match against Hath­away Brown (23–6), the four-time defend­ing state cham­pion in Divi­sion II.

Hath­away Brown led 14–7 after the first quar­ter and 34–21 at half­time. Clyde closed its deficit to 10 by the end of the third quar­ter, 41–31.

As the Lady Fliers fin­ished the third on an 8–0 run, Hath­away Brown began the fourth quar­ter on an 8–0 run of its own.

The Lady Blaz­ers pushed their lead to a game-high 21 inside two min­utes left in regulation.

Clyde junior Amanda Cahill had 16 points, nine rebounds and four blocks, while junior team­mate Han­nah Wadsworth had 10 points.

Hath­away Brown had four play­ers score dou­ble fig­ures, led by Nia Mar­shall with 14.
