Women’s Basketball Defeats Seaford on Rematch

Only one game on the schedule but it was a big one, a rematch of the Vikings worst defeat of the year. In early January, North Shore traveled to Seaford and lost 76-35. The 41 points were tough to swallow and the Vikings were eager to play their south shore foes again. The game started as all of them have, with a fast pace and every Viking contributing. Despite 5 points by Kathleen Lennon and 2 steals by Christina DeMeo in the quarter, the Vikings found themselves down 15-12 to start the second frame. In the second quarter, behind Christine Castiglione’s 6 points, the North Shore offense really began to click as they scored 21 points to take a 33-30 lead at the half. The second half was more of the same as the two teams traded baskets. The score was tied at 41 with 4:00 to go in the third quarter, when the Vikings went on their trademark run. The constant pressure defense and the up-tempo pace began to wear down their opponents. And behind Jacki Gioia’s (10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals) 6 points in the 4th quarter North Shore closed the game on a 22-7 run to win 63-48. In the game the Vikings were led by Kathleen Lennon (20 points, 24 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals) and Amanda Johansen’s third triple-double of the season (14 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals) to avenge their earlier loss. The turnaround accounted for a 56 point swing from the last time these two teams played. The win finds the girls tied for 4th place in conference ABC-II with one week to play. The next and final home game for the Vikings is Friday, Feb. 5 at 6 p.m. Come out and support the Vikings as they prepare for the playoffs and congratulate their seniors (Regan Falk, Elle Hoffman, Kathleen Lennon and Jen Melgar) on Senior Night!
