BINGHAMTON – Trailing by five at the end of the first quarter, Norwich battled their way back into the game against the Chenango Valley Warriors Tuesday night, tallying 20 points in the fourth to take the 71-60 Southern Tier Athletic Conference win.
The Purple Tornado built up the momentum shift into their favor after back-to-back 3-pointers by Tommy Flanagan at the end of the first half to pull within three of the home Warriors.
In the second half, Flanagan picked up where he left off as he drained another two. Carson Maynard got into the long distance action, hitting one of his own as Norwich tied the game at 51-51 at the conclusion of the third quarter.
Using the charity stripe in final eight minutes of play, the Purple Tornado received another 3-pointer from Flanagan – his sixth made deep ball of the game – and two buckets inside the arc from Maynard to take over the lead.
