Sullivan free throws beat Rangers

Churchville-Chili’s Katie Sullivan sank two free throws with just 15 seconds left in the game as the Saints held on to beat Spencerport 50-48 in girl’s basketball February 5.

The Saints Joanna Patalano led all scorers with 22 points, Sullivan scored 17, Julie Vislay tallied five points and Angela Mancini added four. For the Rangers, Carrie Kazmierski scored 17 points, Eberhart ten and Nicole Garouol adding eight to the offense. The Saints were 12-19 from the foul line while the Rangers were just 5-15.
