NORWICH – Norwich has not played in a Southern Tier Athletic Conference playoff game in six seasons, much less host one.

At 7 p.m. tonight at Jack Jones Gymnasium, Norwich faces the daunting task of handing state-ranked Binghamton its first loss of the season. Tonight’s game is one of two STAC semifinals clashes with Oneonta and Horseheads squaring off in the other contest.

Norwich (10-1, 14-2) is riding an eight-game winning streak, and has not lost during this calendar year. The only teams to best the Tornado were Binghamton on Nov. 27 – over 2 1/2 months ago, and state-ranked Oneonta over the Christmas break.
