Great teams have great reserves

North is getting just an unbelievable game from reserve post player Karlie Tetschlag. She's rebounding, gathering up loose balls, leading breaks in the open floor (for a second, before dishing it to big sister Kayla) and finishing strong. She just did a sweet fake, drop-step move to make it 45-29 in favor of North.

And senior Jen Waibel hit a sweet 14-foot jumper from the left baseline, then went up strong on the other end for a big, big rebound in traffic.

Yes, North has its stars. But this postseason run has really been a consumate team effort.
