Jamila Constantine led the Tigers with eight points and had a very solid offensive game, according to coach Kaitlyn Wechsler.
“It was probably her best offensive game of the season,” Wechsler said of Constantine. “She really did a good job of taking what the defense was giving her and making plays.”
Point guard Lila Nieves also had a solid game running the offense, especially against a tough press defense by Greater Lowell.
“The press defense was really tight, but Lila did a great job of working through it and running the offense,” said Wechsler.
