IAC GIRLS BASKETBALL: S-VE FALLS TO DIVISION-LEADING NEWFIELD (2019-01-15)

Tioga County Sports Report
SPENCER - S-VE was hoping to give the IAC South Small School leader a battle and early on they did, but the more experienced and once-beaten Newfield Trojans had other ideas, pulling away for a 67-31 victory here Tuesday evening.

The Panthers trailed 16-9 after one quarter, Kelly Moravic's three 3-pointers keeping the Trojans out in front.

"We played a very intense first quarter," S-VE head coach Abby Gentile said. "Unfortunately, we couldn't follow that up in the second and dug a huge hole for ourselves."

Newfield would hold S-VE to six points in the second period while chalking up 24 to make it 40-15 at halftime. Kelly Moravic added seven more points to her output. Katie Moravic added nine points, going 5-for-6 at the free throw line.

Katie Moravic tacked on another eight points in the third quarter as the Trojans increased their advantage to 57-24.

Katie Moravic finished with a game-high 19 points. Kelly Moravic and Jenna Goodwin scored 16 apiece.

Paige Grube paced the Panthers with 10 points and four rebounds, Ava Bruehwiler scored six points, Tara Perkins and Sam Deppe pitched in with four points apiece, Madi Sousa dished out three assists and Madelynn Pasto grabbed three steals.

Newfield improved to 12-1 overall with the win and 8-0 in the division.

S-VE (3-9) hosts Marathon Friday.
