NORWICH – The dominant Norwich ladies took to the court for their first action of 2017, to which they hand Johnson City a loss by a score of 53-42.
The game never seemed to be in question for Norwich, as they jumped right out at the Wildcats to start the Tuesday night game on Jan. 3, scoring 14 points while holding Johnson City to a mere four points. If the foreshadowing of the opening period was not enough to convince spectators of Norwich's 24th ranked spot in the New York State rankings as of Jan. 3, according to the New York Sportswriters Association – then the dominant third period that the Tornado enjoyed was sure to help the cause.
Norwich led the Wildcats 27-21 at the half – allowing JC to score 17 second period points – however, shot right back out at Johnson City in the second half, netting 17 of their own for the purple and white.
Norwich was led in scoring on the day Makenzie Maynard. The senior for Norwich enjoyed a monstrous day, attacking the basket for 22 points. Maynard was assisted heavily by her fellow senior, Meghan Komendarek who helped Norwich secure the win with her 12 additional points scored.
Next up for 24th ranked Norwich (7-1 overall) they will be home against Chenango Forks on Friday, Jan. 6, at 7:45 p.m. Notably, the Johnson City junior varsity squad did defeat Norwich earlier in the night.
