Sparta 54 Rumson-Fair Haven 45 | Girls | She Got Game Classic
Ally Sweeney had 21 points and Bailey Chapman added 19 as Sparta opens the season in the She Got Game Shore Games with a quality win. Sparta lost Villanova commit Brynn McCurry to a season-ending knee injury in a scrimmage, but Sweeney, the Richmond commit, was able to step in and set the tone for the Spartans. RFH rallied in the third to tie the game 36-36, but Sparta made 16 free throws in the fourth quarter to score the victory.

Olivia Shaughnessy led the Warriors with 17 points but it was Hope Masonius who sparked that fourth quarter run by pumping in nine of her 14 points in the last eight minutes.
