Norwich 63, Windsor 52

WINDSOR – If there is a better four-win team in Section IV out there, Norwich coach Tom Collier would like to see it.

Norwich weathered a tough test from the Black Knights asserting control of Friday night's game late in the third quarter. "We expected a tough game; Windsor has always been a tough place to play," said Norwich coach Tom Collier. "They have a lot of size, and we have trouble with big teams."

Norwich mixed inside play with the three-point shot to turn the game in its favor. Michael Oralls scored a season-high 19 points, nine in the second half as he worked the high-low post game with Jamison Luke and Zan Stewart.

Carlos Ithier hit clutch threes in each of the final two quarters, Jordan Vinal canned a dagger three in the fourth, and Stewart also nailed a pivotal three. Stewart finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Luke scored 10 for Norwich, who remained unbeaten in Southern Tier Athletic Conference division play.

"We were able to execute our offense better in the second half," Collier said. "We didn't play as well in the first half, but we did hit some big shots in the second. We were able to get some stops and steals to change the momentum."
