NORWICH – Maine-Endwell captured many first place finishes against the Lady Tornado varsity swimming and diving team, but Norwich didn’t go down easy as they lost 100-72.
Taking away 13 points that were handed to Maine-Endwell for diving, since Norwich does not have divers on their roster, the Tornado lost to the number three state ranked Spartans by a small margin of 15 points.
