Smithtown West girl’s basketball falls to Westhampton in finals
By Bill Landon
Having managed a come from behind win in the Suffolk County semi-final round against Centereach the previous week, the Bulls needed that same magic for the Class AA final when they faced the Hurricanes of Westhampton at Farmingdale State College on March 9. There would be no magic as the Bulls stayed within striking distance, but a dominant Westhampton defense kept Smithtown West at bay for the 54-40 victory.
Two juniors topped the scoring chart for the Bulls with Alyssa Lorefice notching 11 points and Catherine Piccininni added 10.
Seniors Kate Braun and Rosa Pistone concluded their varsity careers netting 9 points and 2 points respectively.
The Bulls finished their 24-2025 campaign with an impressive 17-3 record and with it a league IV championship.
