As the season nears the midway point in Nassau Conference IV, the Mineola High School girls basketball team has 2 wins and 3 losses. The conference opener was a tough road assignment against arch-rival Lynbrook. Although the very young Mustang squad played exceptional defense, the 4th ranked Owls pulled out a 43-33 win on the strength of a 12 to 4 fourth quarter run.

Several crucial shots were missed during Lynbrook's decisive run. Erin Cloghessy and Kim Rossi, the Lady Mustangs' only seniors, were the leading scorers with 7 and 6 points respectively. FULL STORY
