SOUTHWICK – The Southwick-Tolland Regional High School girls’ basketball team is knocking on the door to the postseason.
Two players recorded double-doubles – Morgan Harriman and Taylor LeClair – to help lift Southwick to a 40-30 win over Sci-Tech at home Thursday night. The Rams (9-8) need just one win in their final three games to earn a Western Massachusetts Division II tournament berth.
Harriman scored 17 points and hauled down 16 rebounds. LeClair collected 10 points and 11 boards.
“It was a good team win,” said Southwick coach Mike Gill. “We paid them back.”
