New Hampton Falls Short to Loomis Chaffee
DEDHAM, MA -
The Huskies got off to a slow start in the final game of the Nickerson Basketball Classic on Sunday morning at Nobles. Three minutes into the game New Hampton was still scoreless. Finally, Thalia Pena '25 hit a three and Elyse Ngenda '26 converted a steal into a lay-up to tie the game at 5-5. The two teams exchanged blows throughout the rest of the half and went into the break tied at 27.
In the second half, Loomis struck first on a feed to their talented post player, Alicia Mitchell, who had a game-high 20 points and 10 rebounds. Cold shooting and turnovers plagued the Huskies until Ava Perry '27 knocked down a 3 to cut the deficit to 5. Freshman Shannon O'Leary gave New Hampton some key minutes and used her length to disrupt Mitchell's rhythm.
Ngenda and Kitt Jones '25 worked tirelessly on the boards to keep Loomis at bay, especially in the 4th quarter. Ngenda had a team high 9 rebounds while Jones pulled down 6. New Hampton outscored the Pelicans in the final period as Casey Stores '27 hit another triple just before the buzzer, but it wasn't enough the close the gap Loomis had built in the 3rd. Final score: NHS - 52, Loomis - 58.
New Hampton's leading scorers today were Ngenda (17), Pena (12), and Ne'vaeh Buntley '24 with 10.
