In Friday’s visit to Fayetteville-Manlius, the Liverpool girls basketball team continued to have offensive issues, which led to a 61-44 loss to the Hornets.
Liverpool could only watch as F-M’s LeMoyne College-bound senior, Torie Lee, worked her way to 26 points, surpassing 1,000 career points along the way.
As this went on, the Warriors fell behind, 50-31, by the close of third quarter, far too much ground to make up. Lyteshia Price led with just nine points, while Emily Lafave earned eight points and Brittney Libertore finished with seven points.
Playing again a day later against Watertown, the Warriors broke its skid, putting together a 44-28 victory over the Cyclones.
Scuffling through a low-scoring first half, Liverpool, down 19-13 at the break, cranked up its defense in the third quarter, holding Watertown to a single field goal. That gave the Warriors enough time to zoom in front as it outscored the Cycones 31-9 the rest of the way.
Cara Scalisi led this rally, finishing with 16 points, while Chrissy Scalisi earned nine points and Nina Tassone gained eight points.
Having moved up to 3-7 at the midway point of the regular season, Liverpool has to go to Utica Proctor Tuesday to try and turn things around before powerful Oswego showed up on Friday night.
