The Lady Hilltoppers opened their 2005-6 campaign with a loss at Home versus Morris Hills. The game was virtually over in the first quarter as Morris Hills raced to a 24-12 lead at the end of the first quarter, with deadly shooting from the outside and the foul line. But from then on Summit had the better of play as the women clamped down defensively and began chipping away at the lead. Jamie Osmulski and Katelyn Allocco withstood a lot of defensive pressure in the backcourt to get the ball to Summit's two twin towers, Renee Freeden and Danielle Scott. Good defensive work by Melissa Scott and Megan Osmulski kept Summit in the game as they began their second half comeback. Scoring from the inside, Freeden had 14 points and D. Scott had 12 for the game. Some clutch outside shooting by M. Osmulski brought the Hilltoppers to a 4 point deficit, but some clutch foul shooting by Morris Hills at the end sealed the game. The story of the game was the tremendous effort the women exhibited after the first quarter jitters were over, and the great disparity at the foul line. Morris Hills was held to just 9 field goals, but shot 36 times from the foul line, converting on 21. That was the difference, as the Lady Hilltoppers were whistled for 27 fouls.
