Renaissance Girls Deny Lenox in State Quarter-Finals

LENOX, Mass. – Zi’Yan Wallace Friday scored 24 points to lead the fifth-seeded Renaissance girls basketball team to a 65-49, come-from-behind win over Lenox in the Division 5 State Quarter-Finals.

 

Sy’Nye Baker added 15 for the Phoenix, which trailed, 32-27, at half-time but clamped down defensively after half-time to earn a shot at No. 1  Hopedale or Lee in next week’s Final Four.

 

Renaissance held Lenox to just two points in the third quarter to build an eight-point lead and then scored 23 in the fourth quarter to put the game away.

 

Wallace scored eight points, and Keishla Rodriguez added 11 for the visitors in that fourth quarter run.

 

Grace Julieano scored a team-high 18 points for the Millionaires, who got 12 points from Jocelyn Fairfield.

 

Lenox finishes the season with a record of 22-2, both losses to Renaissance, which upended the Millionaires in the Western Massachusetts Class C Championship Game.
