Rivers girls' varsity basketball team opened its Independent School League play with a 36-31 win at Groton School on Wednesday. Sophomore guard Anna Littman-Quinn scored a team-high 16 points, while Lila Knisely, a sophomore, made eight rebounds.
Against St. Mark’s School Saturday, the girls fought back from an early 12-0 deficit to lose 48-50 in overtime. Littman-Quinn was again the top scorer with 22 points. Senior center Deanna Cox had a career-high 14 points and a strong defensive game.
Coach Bob Pipe called the game a loss in score only. "It was a great game to be a part of," he said. "This kind of effort from players is why you coach."
With its 44-29 win over Berwick on Dec. 2, the girls' basketball team owns a 2-1 record going into the 36th annual Rivers Holiday Tournament on Thursday. The girls’ first game will be at 7:30 p.m. against Dana Hall.
