Could Penn-Trafford’s consistent scoring be the reason they have a consistent record?
The Warriors have finished their sixth game scoring in the 50s. The Warriors have also won their sixth game in a row.
Penn-Trafford girls basketball protected their undefeated record after defeating the Baldwin Highlanders 57-46 at home this Wednesday.
Freshman Raya Johnson led P-T in three-pointers (3), and junior Torrie DeStefano led overall with 15 points.
The game started closer than the Warriors would have liked. Highlander Mary Vargo scored five points in the first quarter, taking her team to only 1 point away going into the second. The Warriors led 12-11 at the end of the first.
P-T slowly worked their way to a larger lead in the second, resulting in a Warrior lead 26-21 going into halftime.
In the third quarter, the Warriors found their strive, outscoring the Highlanders 19-9. Torrie DeStefano made five of six free throws in this quarter, scoring a total of eight, third-quarter points for P-T.
Baldwin made their last and strongest attempt to win in the final quarter, but their efforts came up short. Lynsey Bernotas scored six points in the fourth, but the Highlanders could not find the time to recover from such a deficit.
P-T increases to 6-0, while Baldwin is now 2-3 on the season. The Warriors will next play against Greensburg Salem on Thursday at home.
