Chelmsford Girls 6 entered the prestigious Acton-Boxboro February Vacation Tournament with high hopes. Those hopes were quickly dashed as they ran into 2 titans – 1 from Charlton and 1 from Acton-Boxboro.
The girls opened the tourney losing to undefeated Charlton by the score of 39-16. It took the girls a long time to adjust to Charlton’s style of play, as they fell behind early 15-0. Eventually, the girls calmed down and played much better the remainder of the way.
Alessandra Lebrun was a shining star in the game – finishing strong inside and hitting from the outside as well to lead the team with 9 points. Tiffany Cheok, Natalie Tierney, and Abbey Quirbach rounded out the scoring.
