The Tornado (9-5) dominated the second half led by senior Jennifer Borfitz in beating the Warriors for the second time this season on Friday.

CV’s Chelsea Henige hit a three at the halftime buzzer to give her team a three-point lead. From there, it was all NHS. “We made some defensive adjustments in the second half, and the girls implemented them perfectly,” said Norwich coach Josh Bennett. “Plus, we wore them down a bit in the second half.”

Borfitz was limited to free throws in the first half, but cashed in on all five of her field goals in the third scoring 12 of Norwich’s 17 points to flip the momentum in the Tornado’s favor. Borfitz finished with a game-high 20 points.

Megan Komendarek scored in every quarter for Norwich adding 10 points, and Shelby Benjamin added eight.
