Girls Basketball easily defeated a much younger and inexperienced Hopkins team on Monday, January 9th. Choate pulled ahead right away, with four unanswered baskets within the fi rst few minutes. Although Hopkins did not prove to be much competition for Choate, the Boars still played hard and hustled throughout the entire game. Not only did Choate win 51-31, but for the fi rst time in four years every member on the squad scored. Kat Luby ’08 scored eight points, Skyla Lamberto-Egan ‘06 snagged nine rebounds, and Jill Mastroianni ’08 had four steals.
