Huskies Fall to Top Seeded Nobles in NEPSAC Quarter-Finals
New Hampton, seeded 8th in the NEPSAC Class AA Tournament, headed to Dedham, MA today with a mission of upsetting top-ranked Noble & Greenough School on their home court. The Huskies held their own in the first quarter matching Nobles point-for-point and found themselves down by just 1 at the end of the period with Ava Perry, Elyse Ngenda, and Ne'vaeh Buntley doing the bulk of the scoring. New Hampton continued to execute on the offensive end and owned a 7-point lead mid-way through the second period. Abby Schrader sank a 3-pointer and Perry continued to knock down her free throws.
Just as the Huskies were gaining confidence, Ngenda and Buntley had to head to the bench due to foul trouble and momentum began to swing the other way. Nobles went a big run to bring the halftime score to 23-37. New Hampton's scoring drought lasted deep into the third until Martina Pike scored back-to-back buckets to end the period.
On the defensive end, Ali Campbell and Elyse Ngenda each drew an offensive charge which gave New Hampton a much-needed boost. Our younger players gained valuable experience playing in their first New England Prep School tournament, and the team competed until the final buzzer. We will take all that we learned this season and continue to work hard in order to return to the post-season again next winter.
Our seniors, Martina Pike, Emily Hobausz, and Navi Buntley, will be greatly missed. We appreciate their many contributions to NHS and the women's basketball program, and wish them well in their future endeavors. Thanks for the memories, Huskies!
