AVALON — Senior Morgan Hembarsky hit a three-pointer with 20 seconds to help lead the Lightning to the victory in the championship game of the Avalon Tournament Wednesday.
Senior Tierney Danner made one of two free throws with seven seconds left for the 53-51 and held off Godinez. Hembarsky led Sage Hill (9-4) with 15 points and five assists, while Danner finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Senior Stephanie Garrison, who had eight rebounds and six points, was named the tournament MVP and junior Hannah Jeffrey earned all-tournament honors. Freshman Ava Soleimany contributed six assists for the Lightning.
“Throughout the tournament, [Garrison] was our catalyst on both ends of the court,” Sage Hill Coach Lou Silverman said. “She shut down some of the key players from the opposition. She did a great job on the boards and on offense, she took the ball to the hoop and got to the free-throw line. She was phenomenal in the three games of the tournament.”
The Lightning play host to Fairmont Prep Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
