KUA won the Rivers School Holiday Tournament today for the 4th consecutive year by beating Dana Hall School 51-39.
Tri-Captains Kelly Champagne, Cindy Roseen and Quinn Sendall helped lead their basketball team to a 4th straight holiday tournament championship this past weekend in Weston, MA. KUA bested Middlesex School 51-35 in the opening round and then beat Dana Hall 51-38 in the championship game of The Rivers School Holiday Tournament on December 15th and 16th. This is the 4th such title for 4-year seniors Champagne, Roseen and Sendall.
Freshman Greydy Diaz had the
hot hand netting a team high 16 points for the Cats while teammates
Cindy Roseen and Marion Githegi chipped in 12 and 10 points
respectively. Roseen led the team in rebounds grabbing 16
while Githegi dished out an impressive 10 assists for the 4th time this
young season. Both seniors were named to the All-Tournament team for
their efforts over the weekend. Newcomer Tori Agel also played a solid
game for the black and orange contributing 8 points (6-for-8 from the
free throw line), 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals.
This is
the second tournament in as many weeks that the Wildcats have won.
The squad has done so by playing tenacious defense and working as a
team. The players will enjoy a well-deserved break until January 6th
when they host Lakes Region League rival Brewster Academy.
