WAVERLY — Waverly started very slowly, but put it together over the final three quarters and cruised to a 57-19 win over S-VE here Tuesday night in IAC South girls basketball action.
The Lady Wolverines were held to two points in the first quarter — a pair of free throws by sophomore Olivia Nittinger — and trailed 4-2, but junior Sidney Tomasso poured in 11 points in the second quarter to fuel a 14-2 blitz that gave them a 16-6 lead at the half.
Tomasso pumped in 10 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, in the third quarter, junior Morgan Adams canned a 3-pointer and scored six points, and Nittinger added a 3-pointer to lead Waverly in a 23-10 run that pushed the Waverly lead to 39-16 entering the final eight minutes.
Six different Waverly players put their name in the scorebook in the fourth quarter in an 18-3 blitz that put the game away.
Tomasso led Waverly with 21 points, while Adams and NIttinger scored eight points apiece, and freshman Kennedy Westbrook, senior Paige Lewis, and junior Alyssa Sindoni added six points apiece.
Tara Perkins led S-VE with eight points, and Paige Grube added five.
Waverly, now 8-2, hosts Dryden Friday night.
