Westchester falls in Wheelchair Classic, 51-36

I just got off the phone with Kevin, who reports that the Westchester girls lost by 15 to New Heights (a Manhattan team) in tonight’s Wheelchair Classic at LIU. The team fell behind 16-1 early but made a run, cutting the deficit to five late in the third quarter. That, however, was the closest it got.
Westchester’s leading scorer was Mount Vernon junior Nadia Duncan, who had 15 points. Her teammate on the Lady Knights, junior guard Kwinnyata Mercer, scored seven.
The team was coached by Mount Vernon’s Patrice Wallace-Moore. Kevin was in a hurry, but he gave me a few names of other players on the team: Mount Vernon’s Lynasia Frazier, Ursuline’s Rosie Crean, and Beacon’s Kara Tancredi.
If anyone was there, let us know what you saw.
