Huskies Give Seawolves a Scare
NEW HAMPTON, NH -
New Hampton's Ne'vaeh Buntley '24 sank 3 triples in a row to build a quick 9-6 lead over visiting Class AA Tabor Academy today. The Huskies and Seawolves exchanged blows in the first half with neither team gaining a double-digit lead. Halftime score: NHS-22, Tabor-28.
New Hampton's Ali Campbell '25 provided a huge spark off the bench dishing assists, sinking shots, and grabbing key rebounds on both ends of the court. Freshman Ava Perry wreaked havoc on the defensive end with several deflections and steals which lead to key transition points for the Huskies, and senior Tri-Captain Martina Pike was effective limiting the offense of Tabor's bigs.
New Hampton suffered a scoring drought with 3 minutes left in the third quarter and Tabor owning a slim 4-point lead (32-36). The Huskies would not score again until an offensive board and mid-range jumper by tri-captain Elyse Ngenda '26 with 4:50 remaining in the 4th quarter. Now trailing by 17 (34-51), Ngenda and Buntley put the team on their backs and ignited a 21-4 run. In the final two minutes, Ngenda, Buntley, Perry, Campbell, and Adriana Hernandez '25 showed tremendous grit and determination. They limited Tabor to one shot per possession and battled for offensive boards and buckets at the other end.
With :22 remaining in the game, Tabor led 46-57, but Ngenda caught fire and scored 7 straight points in 16 seconds to bring the Huskies within 4 (53-57). The Seawolves called a timeout to advance the ball with 6 ticks on the clock, but New Hampton forced a turnover on the inbounds pass attempt. A quick timeout by Coach Corselli moved the ball to New Hampton's front court and gave the Huskies two good looks at the basket but neither shot fell and time expired, ending New Hampton's chances for an epic comeback.
Ngenda and Buntley had identical stat lines with 22 points and 9 rebounds each. They played 30+ minutes and left it all on the court, inspiring their teammates to do the same. On a day when New Hampton School was recognizing National Girls and Women in Sports Day, both teams gave strong performances and showed that girls and women can compete at the highest level.
It will be a quick turn-around for the Huskies as they head to KUA on Monday. The start time for the game has been changed to 3:30pm.
