Unbeaten Southmoreland continued its best start in school history, passing a stern road test in the process, by utilizing what has brought it this far: defensive wherewithal and offensive balance.

When the two intersect, this is one dangerous team.

Four players scored in double figures, and the stingy Scotties quickly put a close first quarter behind them to rout host Elizabeth Forward, 65-32, on Monday night in a Section 3-4A game.

Sophomore Gracie Spadaro scored a game-high 22 points, freshman point guard Olivia Cernuto added a career-high 20, sophomore guard Delaynie Morvosh scored 12 and senior forward Sarah Pisula had 11 points, 16 rebounds and eight blocks as the third-ranked Scotties moved to 11-0 overall and 5-0 in the section.

“We like to get after it, and we’re fast and have size,” Pisula said. “We applied ball pressure, and that helped us get to the line.”
