Cushing vs Tilton

The Varsity Girls’ Basketball team suffered its first loss of the year this afternoon in a disappointing effort against Tilton. Both teams struggled to score in the beginning, but Cushing was still well in the game, only down by three midway through the first half. Unfortunately Tilton was able to pull away, slowly and steadily, from that point forward. Ali Lorden hit a three to keep the score reasonably close, but Tilton responded with a 6-0 run to end the half, to go up by 13. Luciana Fionda and Meg Barry were the offensive attack in the second half, combining for all of Cushing’s nine points (including a three from Meg that just beat the final horn!). Meg was the leading scorer on the afternoon with seven points. Luciana finished with four points, followed by Akwar and Ali (each with three), and D’Ana Rolle rounded out the scoring with a pair of freethrows.

Current Record: 6-1; the team looks to regroup this Friday, making another trip up north to take on New Hampton.
