Poor shooting and intense defensive pressure by the opposition added up to a 61-47 loss for the Warsaw Girls basketball team at 3A #3 Norwell Saturday night.
Warsaw led for most of the first quarter, but a late surge by the Lady Knights put them ahead at the end of the quarter 15-12. They led the rest of the way.
Warsaw shot just 15-56 from the field (26.8%) and were forced into 22 turnovers by the Knights suffocating 1-3-1 half court trap.
So. Brooke WInchester led Warsaw with 19 points and 13 rebounds, hitting 4 of her 8 three-point attempts. Fr. Brooke Zartman added 18 in her first high school basketball game.
Warsaw will be back in action Thursday in their home opener against Tippecanoe Valley. JV tip-off is at 6:15.
