CHESHIRE -- Emily Rosse had a triple-double with game-high totals in points (23), rebounds (14) and steals (12), as the Hurricanes improved to 10-3 and qualified for the Western Massachusetts Division II tournament with a 46-38 win over Monument at home.
The Hurricanes never trailed, but never really took control of the game. Hoosac made clutch free throws down the stretch to hold the Spartans off.
It was the first time the Hurricanes were able to take a cushion and finish off an opponent this year. They had either won games by a point or two or by a big margin.
"It was a good game for us to have to do the little things you need to win a game like this," said Hoosac coach Ron Wojcik.
Jen Gale chipped in with 11 points for Hoosac.

"I can’t speak enough about what Natasha MacLeay and India Ward did [defensively]," said Everett coach Scott Rote. "To hold [Nguyen] to four points is pretty good. We knew if we could play her hard we’d have a chance."

SPRINGFIELD -- The Hornets wasted little time in taking care of business on the road, 54-44 over Pioneer Valley Christian School.
McCann opened a four point lead in the first quarter before sending in the second unit. And that’s when the Hornets took over. From that point until halftime, McCann outscored the hosts 18-4 to enjoy a 18-point lead. PVCS closed the gap with a 22-point fourth quarter but never seriously threatened.
"My second unit went in and gave us a big lift," coach Mike Nykorchuck said. "They played pretty good defense. We held them to two points in the second quarter. We went to zone with second unit and [PVCS] struggled."
Anthony Duprat had matched a team-high 11 points off the bench. Cody O’Neill had seven points and nine rebounds in less than half a game.
