NORTH ADAMS -- Danielle Racette started her senior year in fine fashion Monday night, as the Drury girls’ basketball team opened with a 52-18 win over Taconic.
Racette scored 22 points, grabbed eight rebounds and added four assists and four steals to fuel the victory.
Drury held Taconic to two points in the second quarter and led 29-6 at halftime.
"We have four returning starters. We got some good, veteran play," said Drury coach John Franzoni. "It’s not midseason [defensive] form. For two weeks into the season, it’s pretty darn good."
Nyanna Slaughter led Taconic with nine points.
