CHENANGO VALLEY - Coming off a tough loss to Chenango Forks, the Norwich Purple Tornado girls basketball team traveled to Chenango Valley for a Saturday matinee. Norwich fell to the Warriors 42-33 in STAC league play.

Both teams were off to a slow start with Norwich taking a brief 14-10 lead at halftime. The Purple Tornado kept a five-point lead after the end of the third quarter, but Chenango Valley ran the board in the final eight minutes of play. The Warriors posted 22 points in the final quarter, leaving Norwich unable to make the comeback.

Emma Urgo scored a team-high of 14 points as Josey Ryan wasn't too far off with 12 points for Norwich. Bella Dilorio added four points and Brynley Ryan returned to the lineup, where she knocked down a three in the loss.

Norwich's next scheduled game isn't until January 4th against Windsor. However, the Purple Tornado (3-2) are looking for a possible tournament or more non-league contests to compete in during the holidays.
