Shtikel Sticks It To Shorecrest - T-Birds Triumph  50-43

For the first time in four years, the Shorewood girls basketball team beat Shorecrest Saturday night, 50-43.

T-Birds Senior Masha Shtikel led the way with a game-high 21 points, as she and fellow seniors Trisha Fernandez, Lauren Thompson, Gabby Hager, and Kassie Rasmussen got a giant monkey off their backs by finally earning a win over the Scots.  Rasmussen and Thompson both distinguished themselves on the court.  Rasmussen with 8 points to go along with lock-down defense on the Scots'  powerful post player, Oniye Chibuogwu; and Thompson with her steady ball-handling, as the T-Birds turned the ball over only 12 times, compared to 23 turnovers for Shorecrest.

SC freshman Bella Kemp led her team in scoring with 14 points.
