GBC Girls Seniors in First Place
Senior Division
Going into the final stretch of the season, the Guilderland Girls Senior League Team is currently in first place, with the final games scheduled for next weekend. Despite missing two key players (Michelle Burmistrova and Lindsey Garrant), Guilderland was still able to finish strong against opponent Bethlehem, 38 to 22. Guards Meghan Bruni and Francesca Constantini led the scoring with 8 points each, followed by strong jumpers from Alexandra Benjamin (6 pts).
Outside shooting from Amanda Conklin and Haley Hoffman added an additional 8 points. Strong offensive rebounding from Sarina Cannavo, Paige Pizzemento and Samia Baker combined for a total of 8 additional points, securing the lead for Guilderland. A strong, balanced effort from all highlighted the Guilderland girls' team play and rewarded them with another win.
Biddy B
The Guilderland Biddy B Team played a great game on Saturday. They took an early lead but fell behind at halftime when Niskayuna had a 10-0 run. Behind by 12 points at halftime the Biddy B team did not give up. The team scratched and clawed their way back into the game and all players contributed with great defense. With less than 30 seconds left in the game the Biddy B team was within 2 points but unfortunately time ran out on a courageous come-back. Final score was Guilderland 25, Nisky 27. Graycen Dubin lead all scorers with 19 points, Anna Ashery contributed 4 points and Grace Torpey put up 2 points. A great effort by the ladies on the Biddy B team.
Junior B
Guilderland faced off against Niskayuna on Saturday for their second meeting of the season. The Lady Dutch came out strong, but lost steam quickly, allowing the Warriors to pull ahead midway through the first half. Guilderland intensified their man defense in the second half, but their ferocity was too little, too late. Niskayuna came away with the win, 25 to 19. Rachel Mastrianni lead the Lady Dutch in scoring with 12 points.
For their second consecutive weekend, Guilderland matched up against St Matt's, although this outing went much differently. Last weekend, the Lady Dutch fought hard to pull out a comeback win. St Matt's was not deterred this time around; they flew ahead early and didn't look back. Guilderland lost 25 to 39. Amelia Kedik dominated the boards with 8 rebounds, followed closely by Rachel Mastrianni with 6 rebounds.
4th grade
The Guilderland Storm took on a tough Burnt Hills squad this past weekend. Burnt Hills scored early, but the Guilderland defense would allow no more in the first half. Hayley Bonavita (6 pts) and Kendall Rafferty (2 pts) dominated under the basket as Laila Nino and Grace McFerran (4 pts) harassed their opponents at the point. Caroline Burns and Empress Lee (2) controlled the wings as Guilderland raced out to a 12 to 2 lead at the half. The second half was sloppy for both teams with numerous missed shots keeping the score down. The Storm was down two players with Ava Lia and Valencia Fontennelle both out with knee injuries, but Guilderland continued to excel at defense as Lauren Thompson, Savanna Henderson (2pts) and Gwen Wronski (2 pts) caused several turnovers and kept the Burnt Hills team off balance. In the end Guilderland pulled out the win 18-6.
