Varsity Ladycats play complete defensive game against Tekonsha, run away with win

by Eva Gucker

The Ladycats did a lot of good things Tuesday night against Tekonsha and it showed on the scoreboard with Pittsford winning 49-21. The girls played with intensity all night, reaching the goals that they had set for themselves such as having good help defense and ball movement. Although Tekonsha was able to get the ball over half-court against Pittsford’s press, their transition into half-court caused a lot of problems. When Pittsford moved into a man defense, the Indians were still unable to succeed offensively due to Pittsford’s great help side defense. “We played really good defense and we filled our gaps,” said junior Britney Houser. Offensively Pittsford was able to move the ball well which gave them a lot of good looks and good shots. Pittsford improved on their rebounding as well with six girls pulling down six rebounds each. If the girls continue to play with these improvements they will have a great winning opportunity against the league leaders, Hillsdale Academy, next Tuesday night.

Scoring leaders for Pittsford were junior Katelyn Kipfmiller with 19 points and senior Marisa Hamilton with 17 points. Senior Eva Gucker led the ‘Cats on the boards with seven, along with juniors Houser and Ashley Buckner.
