The Lady Lions were led by sophomore guard Alexa Vasile who came off the bench to score a career-high 13 points for North in the first round of the NJSIAA North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 Girls Hoops Tournament.
The Lions stifled Piscataway in the first quarter, forcing 10 turnovers and blanking the Chiefs in that period to forge a 24-0 lead. In fact, Piscataway did not register a field goal for the first 11:25 of the game. North Hunterdon received balanced scoring — six players had six points or more — and Brittany Goepfert (five rebounds) and Jordan Beneducci (four assists) did outstanding work in the paint.
The Lions’ reward for reaching the quarterfinals is a date this Wednesday at 6pm with Franklin, No. 12 in the NJ.com Top 20.
