Game 3 was the fist away game on November 30 against Mather High School. Although Mather jumped out to early leads in both the first and second quarters, Ida Crown was able to slow things down and catch up by the end of each period.  The first period ended in a 6-6 tie and the half ended with ICJA down by one, 11-12.  After a rocky 3rd quarter with only two baskets, Ida Crown was down by 4 points and Mather’s coach tried to stall and pull Ida Crown out of their zone defense.  However, Ida Crown extended their zone and started to trap, causing numerous Mather turnovers and creating many turnovers.  Mather was only able to score one point in the 4th quarter.  Mather’s response to the defensive adjustment was to foul the Ida Crown players, which put them into a bonus situation.  Tali Zuckerman, Sivan Kolom and Hannah Otis each hit free throws in the fourth to regain the lead.  Final score was ICJA 24 and Mather 20.  Leading scorers were Zuckerman with 7 points, and Otis and Abby Sugar with 4.
