The 16th-seeded Penn Yan Lady Mustangs basketball team won the opening tip-off Tuesday night against the top-seeded Newark Reds. They also won the fourth quarter. But when the final buzzer sounded Newark had won easily, 60-27.
Newark senior Sabrina Macaulay needed only three quarters to rack up a career-high 27 points.
In the fourth quarter, the Mustangs outscored the Reds, 11-6, as Newark coach Diane Kirnie pulled her starters. Kirnie not only managed to get all of her players some experience on the hardwood, but nine out of 12 girls scored on the night.
“We take it one game at a time,” Kirnie said. “We have a really tough game here Friday night [against No. 9 Aquinas]. They have played a tough schedule and played a lot of big schools.”
Macaulay also added six rebounds, four assists and four steals as teammate Brynn Lauer netted 15 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists.
Penn Yan (4-15) was paced on the night by Brianna Bush with 10 points and Megan Lafferty added six points
