Girls Basketball: Triton Game Recap

Neden Bernadin January 8, 2016

The girls played against the Triton Vikings at the Roy Finn Gymnasium on Dec. 21, 2015. It was a tight game but the Vikings won with a final score of 40-55. Despite the loss, the girls displayed a tremendous amount of effort and teamwork and support from the crowd. This game drives the girls to continue practicing and improving on their skills.

Triton took the ball in the first quarter and scored two points in the first eight minutes of the game. Soon after, they scored another basket. Sophomore Tiffany Tortora scored the first points for Malden on free throws followed by sophomore Mackenzie Furlong scoring a big three pointer.

The girls had some difficulty with passing at the start but at the end of the first quarter, Malden improved their communication and only trailed by four points with a score of 8-12.

During the second quarter, Malden’s defense strengthened and the accuracy of their passes also improved. By the end of the quarter the score was still close at 23-30.

Before the start of the third quarter, the girls went to the locker room to be given feedback by their coach, Lydia Coverdale. At the start of the quarter, Furlong made an impressive two pointer basket with junior Caitlyn Leonard the scoring an outstanding three pointer. Going into the fourth quarter, the score was 34-44.

Triton gained more control on the court during the fourth quarter. Malden fought hard but was unable to pull out the win. Despite Triton taking the victory, Coverdale thought the girls displayed a lot of patience and cooperation. She added that each week their focus will be “to get stronger defensively and become more cohesive as a unit.” Coverdale also looks to improve their focus and discipline that is required during practices and games. Overall, Coverdale is proud of the team for their efforts and perseverance and expects great things to come in future games.
