Norwich 44, Windsor 25
NORWICH – Norwich made up for a subpar shooting night with lock-down defense.
The Purple Tornado forced 30 Windsor turnovers as the Black Knights, at times, struggled to get the ball past midcourt. “Thank goodness we played well defensively, and we finally starting making shots and attacking the basket in the fourth quarter,” said Norwich coach Josh Bennett, whose club shot 26 percent for the game.
Coming off a seven-point third quarter, NHS, as Bennett mentioned, saved its best offense for last. On its first possession of the fourth quarter, junior Jennifer Borfitz canned a three ball. Borfitz added a steal and layup,a nd contributed another trifecta off a feed from Breanna Cashman that made it 36-17. The unselfish play continued moments later as Cassie Sutton drove into the lane and fed Shelby Benjamin for a layup.
Borfitz finished with 15, while Carin Kuhn added 14. Kuhn carried the Norwich scoring load the first three quarters with 12 of her markers including a pair of three-pointers.
In the junior varsity matchup, Norwich won its fourth straight game beating Windsor, 49-14. Savannah Williams scored 10 points and Meghan Komendarek added nine.
