SALAMANCA — The Salamanca girls basketball team improved to 2-1 as Karina Mireles-Crouse scored 18 points including three 3-pointers in a 56-20 win over Cattaraugus-Little Valley on Thursday.
Mireles-Crouse also had 11 steals and three assists. Bella Wolfe had 11 rebounds and Makenzie Crouse had nine rebounds and five steals.
Lezly McComber added 10 points for the Warriors.
For Cattaraugus-Little Valley (1-3), Onalee Osgood had eight points.
SHS coach Joe Hinman called it a “good bounce back win” for his team coming off a loss in the Warriors’ tournament championship on Saturday.
“We dug ourselves a little bit of a hole early on with foul trouble,” Hinman said. “We missed a lot of easy layups and open shots early on that allowed them to keep it close. Karina struggled to get going but came alive in the second half. It was good to see her see the ball finally going through the hoop. I think we need to pick up our defensive efforts especially with league games approaching.”
