THREE RIVERS – The Westfield Voc-Tech girls’ basketball team suffered a bit of a setback yesterday, losing 43-32 on the road to Pathfinder. After the dust settled, the Lady Tigers sat at 7-7.
“We came out flat – we had nothing,” Westfield Voc-Tech coach Matt Seklecki said. The Tigers trailed 17-11 at the half. “We could not make any traction, any headway.”
Westfield Voc-Tech’s Amber Rode led all scorers with 14 points. Pathfinder produced a pair of double-digit point scorers (Donna Becker, 12; Kathleen Morgan, 11).
The Tigers will return home Friday night against Franklin Tech at 6:30.
“We will see if we can right the ship,” coach Seklecki said.
Agawam 40, Westfield 32
Evan Tapasses scored 10 points for Westfield, and Melissa Welch had a nice defensive effort for the Lady Bombers in a losing effort.
The game was tied 17-17 at the half.
“We just couldn’t put it together offensively,” Westfield coach Tim Sicard said.
Ware 64, Southwick-Tolland 33
