Lady Warriors Squeeze By With Win
The Lady Warriors beat the Holyoke Bulldogs at home yesterday with a final score of 60-51.
Helping the team with the win was Joneiha Veiga with 25 points, Shannon Mullen with 12 points, and Katy Holt with 9 points.
The Warriors were ahead at the half 28-17 and built a 24 point lead. In the second half, the Bulldogs played a more aggressive game bringing the Warriors lead down to only 2 points. It took some effort but the Warriors won the game by 9 points. “They had 10 more possessions then us in the second half,” said head coach Sal Pina, “that was the main reason for why they were able to crawl back.”
Coach Pina wanted the girls to focus on blocking Holyoke’s Stephanie White. White has an average 16 points per game but the Warriors held her to 13. “In a situation like this I tell the girls not to look at it as ‘we were leading by 24 and only won by 9’”, said Pina, “I tell them to look at the situation as, ‘we had a 24 point lead and we won, it might have been by only 9 points but we still won.”
The Lady Warriors next home game is Thursday at 5:00 versus Roxbury.
