Huskies Extend Win Streak
NEW HAMPTON, NH -
The Huskies had a Class AA match-up with St. Andrew's School (RI) on the Mark Tilton Court today. Both teams battled hard the entire 32 minutes, but a big third quarter (23 pts.) for New Hampton allowed the Huskies to build a 48-32 lead heading into the fourth period. With just under 5 minutes to play, the Huskies extended their lead to 22 with back-to-back 3-pointers from Tahlia Pena '25 and Casey Stores '27. The Saints responded by scoring on their next three possessions, but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback.
New Hampton shot an impressive 51% from the field. Ne'vaeh Buntley '24 and Elyse Agenda '26 had 18 points apiece, while Pena and Stores chipped in with 13 and 8 respectively.
Strong defense once again jump-started the offense. Martina Pike '24 has the bruises to prove it! Thirteen steals (8 from Buntley) led to 17 points for the Huskies off turnovers. NHS worked hard on the boards (25 defensive rebounds) often limiting St. Andrew's to just one shot per possession.
Freshman Ava Perry played all 32 minutes of today's contest. She had 8 boards, 2 assists, a steal, and a bucket, in addition to many of the intangibles needed to help her team seal this key victory.
New Hampton improves to 9-5 on the season. The team will travel to Thayer Academy on Saturday for a 2PM tip-off.
Final Score: NHS-61, St. Andrew's-44
