Despite a valiant comeback effort in the fourth quarter, the Summit Varsity Lady Hilltoppers lost to arch rival Chatham 49-58 in Summit. A disastrous 2nd quarter when Summit was outscored 19-4 was the key reason for the loss, when Summit’s defense broke down and allowed too many open shots and too many fast breaks. The rest of the game, however, showed how far Summits program has come, as the Lady Hilltoppers took everything Chatham had and then some as they mounted an impressive comeback. The balanced scoring of Danielle Scott, who scored two baskets in each quarter to finish with a game high 16 points, kept Summit in the game as she was unstoppable once she got the ball underneath the basket. She also collected 7 rebounds. Summit got a great boost in the fourth quarter from Danielle’s sister, Melissa Scott, who led the comeback with 6 points and 4 assists in the quarter while directing the offense. Many of her assists were to Renee Freeden, who had 8 points in the game, and 4 rebounds. Summit’s swarming, pressing, trapping defense rattled Chatham, who had numerous turnovers in the fourth quarter, many caused by Jamie Osmulski and Katelyn Allocco. Jenna Wilson and Megan Osmulski each had key baskets in the comeback, which was thwarted in the end by the huge advantage Chatham had on the foul line, where they converted on 17 free throws to Summit’s 6.
