On Tuesday, Nov. 15, the JV girls’ basketball team played against Georgetown. The Warriors ended with a loss of 47-18, despite a solid push to recover in the third quarter.

Quickly falling behind at the start of the game, Georgetown took an early nine-point lead. Fighting back, Jackson Bowen ‘26 scored a free throw for the Warrior’s first point of the game. Vivian Hapka ‘26 and Harper Zoll ‘25 followed with swift layups.

However, Georgetown counter-attacked, dominating the court for a halftime score of 27-5. Despite this, the Warriors had a strong third quarter push, with Emily Lee ‘26 consistently driving the ball down the court and Bowen pulling off a great rebound, bringing the ball down for a smooth basket.

During the game, the Warriors drew fouls and made several free throw shots. However, they did not have the defense to stop Georgetown from scoring 20 more points in the final two quarters.

“I think fundamentally, our skills could use a lot of honing, but our effort and communication were there,” Ava Sartor ‘25 said.
