QUEENS – Norwich produced better results each day responding to an opening-day loss in the Brother Arnold Tournament with victories on Saturday and Sunday to place fifth in the 32-year-old tournament.

Facing Fort Hamilton Sunday, Michael Oralls, who had four total points in the first two games - all free throws – scored the Tornado’s first six points, and he had 10 in the first quarter as Norwich jetted to an 18-4 lead.

“Our strength today (Sunday) was Michael and our bench play,” said Norwich coach Tom Collier. “Michael struggled the first day and got in foul trouble, but he was the man today.”

Oralls and reserve Chris Trevisani led Norwich with 13 points apiece, and Zan Stewart scored 11. Norwich had 37 bench points in the win with reserve Jake Walsh scoring eight, and Jordan Vinal along with Tre Bonham netting seven apiece. Walsh saw substantial second-half minutes at the point guard spot, and helped Norwich expand its lead.

“Jake did a great job handling the press; he grew a lot in the last three days,” Collier said.
