NORWICH – The Lady Tornado rebounded from their loss Friday night to a controlling Sus Valley Sabers to dominate the visiting Windsor Black Knights, winning 62-33 Tuesday.
Norwich wanted to prove themselves to their home crowd that they will be a contender this season by scoring 23 in the first quarter. Hannah Baker knocked down two from behind the arc while Triniti Myers added two buckets in a free-throw to lead the Purple in the quarter.
Myers settled in by the next eight minutes, sinking two threes of her own en route to her game-high 14 points.
The Lady Tornado shot much better from the foul line Tuesday, going 8-for-11 from the charity stripe. Friday, Norwich shot 3-for-18.
Norwich’s full-cout press defense caused the Black Knights to turn the ball over 22 times over the course of the contest. The many turnovers created the Purple’s balanced scoring night from the team.
