CLASS S GIRLS BASKETBALL PRELIMS

NO. 7 NEWMARKET 40, NO. 10 WILTON-LYNDEBOROUGH 27

A cold shooting night from the floor proved to be too much for the Warriors to overcome as they bowed out of the Class S tournament, losing by 13 to the seventh ranked Mules on Feb. 17.

Despite their poor shooting, the scrappy Warriors (9-10) put up a fight and kep things close but the Mules (14-5) ran the four corners in the fourth quarter and the two teams combined to score just two points in the final frame.

Kaleigh Randlett scored a team-high 10 points for Wilton and Marika Thompson added eight while Emily Barbeau led Newmarket with 10.

Mary Donovan led Milford with 15 points, six of which came from behind the arc, and Dina Pitsas added 14 points for the Spartans (2-13).

Souhegan led by 25 points at halftime, but Milford went on a 12-1 run in the second half to cut the lead to 13 points with 1:26 to play in the third quarter.

But the Sabers responded with a 9-0 run over the next two minutes to put the game away.
