Tide girls finish tough week

When you are a young team, still trying to learn the game and how to win, the last thing you need is a four game week.
That's what happened to the Columbia girls' basketball team last week. Columbia played non-league games Tuesday and Wednesday night, a league game Friday and a non-league encounter across the Susquehanna with Eastern. And it won't get any better for the Tide this week as they have league games Monday and Wednesday.
So that's six games in nine days Even NBA teas get more time off.
So let's start with the good news. The Tide girls did get their second win of the year, when they opened the week at Mount Calvary. Coach Gary Sutton's team scored a 41-8 win leading 15-2 after eight minutes and 25-2 at the half.
Freshman Megan Seibert scored a career-high 15 points for the Tide, followed by sophomore Jenna Plastino with 13.
A night later, the Tide was on the road again at Christian School of Lancaster and were beaten 42-31.
The Tide was limited to 11 points in the first half.
Plastino was the leading scorer for the Tide with 19 points.
Friday, the Tide girls opened league play with a crossover game, at home, against Lampter-Strasburg.
The Tide girls struggled the entire night and lost 70-16.
Columbia scored four points in the second half and only scored one field goal.
Seibert and Jenai Plowden led the Tide with five points each.
The Tide girls will travel to Donegal on Monday and host Elco on Wednesday. Columbia has already beaten Donegal once this season.
