Sleepy Hollow Girls Basketball Continues Winning Streak

The girls varsity basketball team won twice last week to up their winning streak to 12 games, with a season record of 13-1.

On Monday against Nyack, Jessica Tucci provided a stunning last second half-court three pointer to send the game into overtime, where the Horsemen held on for a 62-59 win. 

Tucci had 10 points for Sleepy Hollow, who started slowly but fought back to within 3 points, fouling to stop the clock in the final minute. With just 4 seconds to get the ball upcourt and score, Tucci hit her 40 footer at the buzzer.  Sophomore Alex Davis-Sumter put up 15 points and junior Grace Carr added 14 in the win.

Friday they beat Eastchester 57-42, with 13 points and 12 rebounds from Alex Davis-Sumter, 8 points and 11 rebounds from senior Daniella Carissimo, and 21 points and 12 rebounds from Grace Carr.

The next home game is against Bronxville on Tuesday January 29th at 4:45 PM.
