Valley West at Crestwood (Girls)

The Wyoming Valley West Lady Spartans came up to Mountain Top Monday night to take on the Crestwood Lady Comets. First quarter would be back and forth but Valley West would have a 15-11 lead after one quarter. The second quarter would end up being low scoring with both teams scoring 15 points combined. Valley West take a 23-18 lead at halftime. The third quarter would be interesting, Abbie Macko gave Crestwood the lead at 27-26 with about 2 min left in the third quarter but Jordan Reilly would score inside to take back the lead on the next possession and would lead 30-27 after 3. The fourth quarter is where Valley West would pull away. The Spartans went on a 12-0 that started in the third quarter and the momentum kept going in the fourth quarter. Crestwood would keep it interesting however, eventually pulling within 4 points with 40 seconds left but Valley West would get the road win 51-43. Gabbie Smicherko led the Spartans in scoring with 17 and Erin Gibbons added 14. For Crestwood, Maddie Ritsick had a game-high 18 points and Abbie Macko had 9.

Thoughts on the game: Close game for three quarters. Valley West looked very good, and I was impressed by Jordan Reilly, although she had 7 points, she was a big reason they pulled away in the fourth quarter. Also a great game by Gabbie Smicherko and Erin Gibbons. Crestwood gave Valley West a good fight til the end even taking a lead in the third quarter but lost it on the next possession and they would fight til the end of the game but came up short.
