Varsity Ladycats drop fifth straight

by Eva Gucker

Pittsford gave an easy 86-44 victory to the Hudson Tigers Saturday night. Although the girls played their best offensive game this year with a higher made shot percentage and better ball movement, the girls struggled defensively and gave Hudson many easy points with slow closeouts and little help-side defense. “We played well offensively, but our defense could have been stronger,” said junior Katelyn Kipfmiller. The first half of the game Pittsford was always close behind the Tigers, but was never able to jump ahead at any point. The second half changed dramatically in the negative direction for the Wildcats. Lack of hustle to get back on defense and poor rebounding increased Hudson’s lead greatly and ended the game with a huge loss for Pittsford girls. Senior Marisa Hamilton led with 20 points and five rebounds.
