VICTORIA JACOBSEN | The Journal Gazette
Norwell girls basketball beat Angola 55-48 in the Bellmont regional semifinal on Saturday morning to advance to the regional final for a second year in a row.
Angola ends its season with a 19-6 record and remains in search of its first regional title.
The teams were tied 10 after the first quarter and the Hornets actually outscored Norwell 23-16 in the final period, but Norwell got enough separation during the second and third quarters, outscoring Angola 29-15 during that stretch.
The first few minutes of the second half were particularly key for the Knights as they came out of halftime with a 26-18 lead and sophomore Skyla Tomasek and senior Kaylee Fuelling immediately hit back-to-back shots to stretch that advantage to 29-18. The lead would grow to 15 points and remain there for much of the third quarter.
