Lady Storm fall to Eagles; Norwich perfect in STAC play

BAINBRIDGE – For the fourth straight season, the Lady Bobcats of Bainbridge-Guilford will return to the Midstate Athletic Conference championship game following their 69-34 win over fourth-seeded Walton Monday night.

Bainbridge-Guilford started the game out with six first-quarter 3-pointers made between three of their five starters. Leading the way with three in the first quarter was Kori Thornton, B-G’s guard who has found her shot as of late.

“Our 3-point shooting in the first quarter really set the tone for the game,” said Bobcats head coach Bob Conway. Bainbridge-Guilford led 28-7 after the first and continued to outscore the Warriors in every stanza after.

Finishing with five scorers in double figures, the Bobcats cruised to the win behind their long range shooting and their defense on the other end of the floor.

Walton’s Olivia Harby, one of the two leading scorers on the roster, was held to just seven points which is well below her average. Their other scoring leader, McKenzie Clough, paced the Warriors in the third quarter with eight of her team-best 16 points.

Also scoring 16 in the contest was Abi Selfridge to lead the Bobcats in the scoring column. Erica Selfridge knocked down three 3-pointers in the win on her way to 14 points while Thornton added another to make a game-high four made shots from beyond the arc. She also ended the night with 14.
