Unadilla Valley 54, Deposit 28

NEW BERLIN – Unadilla Valley ended a 15-game losing streak dating back to late-December of last season blowing away Deposit in the second half.

Sally Hartwick and Katrina Benson had six points apiece in the third quarter in which the Storm outscored the Lumberjacks 23-3. Through two quarters, UV (1-3) clung to a 21-19 lead. “We stayed in man defense and we were able to get a lot of easy baskets off turnovers,” said Storm first-year coach Brandi Backus of the second half.

Hartwick scored her points off the bench, and a number of UV bench players made solid contributions. “It showed tonight that we can put our bench players in and not lose anything,” Backus said.

Sarah Talbot scored a varsity-high 11 points to lead the Storm. Four other UV players had at least seven points.
