The Lady Hilltoppers rode the crest of some unbelievable shooting from two-guard Emily Cristaldi in the first half and hung on for a 53-50 upset over the favored Lady Knights. Alex Reid hounded their star player, and Shannon Murphy held her own on the boards, and Summit ran the ball up-court, penetrated, and dished out to Cristaldi, who hit a remarkable 5 for 7 from 3-pt range. Summit was leading 32-20 at half. West Essex began the second half with their famous 1-3-1 trapping defense, but the Hilltoppers did a good job moving the ball. Summit held on for an amazing win. Cristaldi tied a SHS record with five 3-pointers during the game, and Reid had a nice all around game, playing strong defense and chipping in with 12 points. Wilson’s heady leadership at the point helped run valuable minutes off the clock..
