Off the court, junior Sophie Bikofsky might be close friends with Lincoln-Sudbury junior Lindsey Jones. But when South faced L-S for the second time this season today, it was a whole new story. Until Jones went down with an injury, the two played tight, intense defense, as if they didn't know one another. With five minutes remaining in the third quarter, South junior Semira Haghayeghi set a pick on Jones, sending the star L-S forward straight to the ground. Jones stood up for a split-second as the ball went out-of-bounds, but then went straight back to the ground. So when trainer Andy Ray rushed onto the court to treat Jones, Bikofsky was standing right beside Jones. Jones (8 points), who hit a 3-pointer halftime buzzer beater to bring the Warriors within five, was unable to return to the game. After Jones’ injury, Bikofsky (16 points, 5 rebounds) and the rest of the Lions were nearly unstoppable, winning Tuesday’s matchup with L-S 70-53. South (13-2) also received strong performances from the juniors Kendall Burton (17 points, five rebounds) and Chloe Rothman (12 points). The Lions avenged their Dec. 21 59-51 loss to L-S (9-5). The Warriors received strong performances from the game’s leading scorer, senior captain Elizabeth Newman (19 points) and junior guard Nyah Berg (8 points). South will scrimmage against The Rivers School on Wed. Feb. 3. The women’s head coaches of Boston College and Duke University are expected to be in attendance for tomorrow’s scrimmage before the coaches square off for an ACC match-up Thursday night. The Lions return to DCL action on Fri. Feb. 5 against Boston Latin.
