Summit couldn’t have started out slower on Thursday night at Morris Hills. Maybe it was the one hour delay getting the game started. It could have been the lighting in the gym, which was so dark you could barely see the rims from the stands. Or maybe it was the heat inside, as the windows wouldn’t open.  Whatever the cause, facing the Morris Hills zone yet again, the Lady Hilltoppers couldn’t solve the defense and only scored 11 points in the first half. But coach changed up the defense in the second half and lit a fire under the Hilltoppers. And they delivered, none more so than Emily Cristaldi.  Held to only one field goal in 7 attempts in the first half, Cristaldi opened up the second half scoring 12 points in 2 minutes and 45 seconds, which could very well be a Summit boys or girls record! She hit two 3’s and shots on drives and suddenly Summit was leading 23-20!  And then Melissa Scott, coming off the bench to relieve a player in foul trouble, took care of the rest of the game. Scott had her best game scoring wise, hitting on 3 key buckets in the half and shooting 7 for 8 from the line, to score all her 13 points in the second half. Summit’s defense generated a turnover on almost every Morris Hills play, with Cassie Hall and Cristaldi getting many of them.  When Summit’s leading rebounder, Shannon Murphy, went down with an ankle injury, Alex Reid took over the heavy rebounding job, pulling down 10 rebounds, many on the offensive end, and playing strong defense in the paint.  The final minutes were a clinic of ball control, as Jenna Wilson and Jamie Osmulski easily controlled the ball, and passed off to Scott, who was fouled and hit her clutch free throws. A great comeback from a Lady Hilltopper squad with a lot of heart
