Summit vs Scotch Plains - UCT Quarter Finals

Won 39-34 Continuing their impressive march in the UCT, the JV Lady Hilltoppers defeated a strong and experienced Scotch Plains squad 39-34 in Summit to advance to the UCT semi-finals. Summit took quick advantage of their strength underneath, with sophomore Candy Marchell and freshman Abby Mell scoring key buckets underneath to open a lead. Scotch Plains came roaring back and kept the game close throughout, but good outside work by Danielle Allocco and Deanna Nelson kept Summit in the lead. As the game neared the end, Scotch Plains pressed in desperation, and some nice work by freshmen Alex Reid and Shannon Murphy executed a long pass breakaway to perfection, and Marchell finished it off with a lay-up on a feed from Reid, to seal the victory. Summit's next game is Monday night at 8 in Rahway.
