LUDLOW – Home or away. Back-to-back games on consecutive nights. None of it matters to the Westfield High School girls’ basketball team.
Westfield continued its brief winning streak, escaping “The Jungle” in Ludlow against the Lions with a 51-46 victory.
“It was just a really good solid win all the way around,” Westfield coach Ralph Loos said. “It was a big win in the league.”
Alicia Arnold (6 rebounds) and Karly Mastello (7 rebounds) scored 18 points apiece to lead the Westfield attack. Alexa Morin also helped spearhead the effort for the Bombers with six points and 22 rebounds.
“I’m really proud of the kids effort,” Loos said. “They toughed it out in a close game.”
