NEW YORK, N.Y. — Curtis suffered its first PSAL 4A loss of the season Saturday, dropping a 76-49 decision to Thurgood Marshall on the road.
Kat Karounos paced Curtis with 16 points and recorded eight rebounds. Janiya Thomas contributed 10 points and nine rebounds.
“Unfortunately, we rebounded poorly and turned the ball over way too many times to give ourselves the best chance to win,” said Curtis head coach Talia Sutton, whose club dropped to 4-1 in the PSAL and 6-3 overall. “It was a tough loss, but a good lesson for us to learn early in the season.”
Aniyah Bell addd seven points and 12 rebounds for the Warriors.

Nazareth 68, Sea 62
BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Vikings lost the CHSAA AAA road encounter Friday, despite Olivia DiMonda’s 15 points and seven assists.
Maria O’Connell recorded her first double-double of the year tallying 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Giovanna Grima finished with 12 points and six rebounds.
“Very disappointed and frustrated with this loss for many reasons,” said Sea head coach Josh Suslak. “While our team played hard in a very tough environment and didn’t back down to a physical Nazareth squad, we had one too many mistakes in pivotal moments and unnecessary turnovers that were completely unacceptable.”
Late in the game the Vikings were in position to win, but weren’t able to get over the hump in “very difficult and challenging circumstances.”
“With that said, our younger first time varsity players are gaining a ton of game experience in situations like these which should only help them grow as players and hopefully will lead to continued improvement for them individually and for us collectively as the season progresses,” said Suslak, whose squad fell to 1-2 in the league and 2-2 overall.
