It’s been a tough year so far for the Lady Indians of Bartlett, dropping to 1-7 on the year with the loss to the Lady Pioneers of Southbridge last Thursday in Southbridge, capping off a six game losing streak.

The resurgent Pioneers (5-3) got off to an early start with a full court press, forcing Bartlett into errant passes; traveling violations; and a general loss of floor presence. The Lady Indians were unable to develop any kind of sustained rhythm or momentum and found themselves down 27-14 at the break.

Finally in the last half Bartlett heated up as Lindsay Bond found her way to the hoop, (team high 16pts) and with some help from Olivia  Mandeville (8pts) managed to close the gap, but it was a case of a little too late.
