NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Lauren Morse scored 22 points Wednesday to lead the Easthampton girls basketball team to a 44-36 win over McCann Tech.

“Fantastic bounce back from last night,” McCann Tech coach Kathy Budaj said. “Running with five players both nights and playing a solid team, I am so proud of the girls tonight.
