Bears Burn Devils to Sweep Series

On Friday afternoon the girls’ basketball team topped Center Moriches, 49-40, to sweep the season series with the Red Devils. The Bears also defeated Center on opening night, 43-28.

The Bears and Devils played to an 11-11 deadlock after the first quarter before the Brook gained a narrow 18-17 margin at the half. The Bears nosed ahead by three entering the fourth quarter, after a 13-11 third frame, before the offense came alive in an 18-point fourth to put the game away. Beth Felix’s seventh 3-pointer was the dagger, putting the Bears up 42-35 with 1:23 left.

Felix led all scorers with 29 points (seven 3-pointers) to go along with 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Niamh Scanlon (8 points), Jessica Nwachukwu (6 points/ 8 rebounds), Leka Lee-Maeba (4 points/ 9 rebounds), and Liz Robbins (2 points) rounded out the scoring.

The Bears are back in action this afternoon in a match-up at Port Jeff.
