Pearl River Blows By Suffern, 79-26

The Pearl River girls basketball team easily defeated Suffern for the second time this season on the road Monday.

Pearl River junior guard Christa Scognamiglio outscored the entire Suffern team by herself, piling up 27 points in a 79-26 victory in the Rockland County Second-Place game at Suffern Monday.

Nicole Grossbard added 12 points and eight assists while Allison Cook and Amanda DeCourcey each had nine for Pearl River (17-1), which must wait until the Section 1 playoff pairings come out Wednesday to see who is next on the schedule. Suffern fell to 9-8 on the season with its second loss to the Lady Pirates. Pearl River won the first meeting of these two teams, 70-24, in December.

Pearl River is likely to be the second or third seed behind Peekskill and possibly Albertus Magnus. Peekskill defeated Pearl River in the Sectional semifinals last season.
