Union-Endicott 44, Norwich 38
JOHNSON CITY – At the Pete Hyde Coaches Versus Cancer Tournament Tuesday, Norwich’s second-half rally came up short in a matchup against a premier Southern Tier Athletic Conference opponent.
The Tigers, who led by double digits in the second half, saw their lead close to two points twice in the last two minutes. Bryn Loomis hit a jumper to pull NHS within two. After U-E made a pair of free throws, Sophie Stewart canned a short-range shot drawing the Purple within a bucket one more time. Over the last 40 seconds, Union-Endicott went 4-for-4 from the foul line as Norwich failed to score again.
“They’re a tough team, and other than Binghamton, (Union-Endicott) is probably the second-best team in our league,” said Norwich coach Josh Bennett. “It’s a different level of basketball, and they are probably the most physical team in the conference. We struggled in figuring out how to score in the first half, but we made the extra pass in the second half, and got better looks at the basket.”
Norwich was also aggressive in taking the ball to the basket finishing 12-for-17 from the foul line in the second half alone. Loomis led Norwich with 18 points, and Hailey Dietrich scored nine. Norwich plays Vestal today at 7:45 p.m.

G-MU 47, Margaretville 40 (OT)
DOWNSVILLE – Unable to hold a five-point lead in the fourth quarter, G-MU’s offense hit its stride during the four-minute overtime period to pull away for a seven-point win over Margaretville in the first round of the Downsville Tournament Tuesday.
DeMario Reed scored 15 of his 20 points over the final quarter and overtime to spark the Raiders’ offense. Greg Delaney knocked down a key three-pointer and added a free throw lifting the Raiders to a quick advantage in the extra minutes.
“We played smarter and with more care in the overtime period, and the numbers proved that out,” said G-MU coach Bill Hartman. “We kind of lumbered through the first three quarters, and the only saving grace is that (Margaretville) couldn’t score the ball either. The good news is that we get a chance to go out and play tomorrow.”
Eddie Ray Cotton carried most of the offensive load through three quarters, and he was next on the Raiders’ scoring chart with 15. G-MU will face either Downsville or The Family School tonight at 6:30 p.m. for the tournament championship game.
