"We had unselfish play to set up open shots today," said Cicero-North Syracuse coach Rob Siechen. "Defensively, we were able to contain Amarah (Streiff) today."
The Northstars (3-0) got double-figure scoring from four players, led by Sydney Nesci with a team-high 20 points. Olivia Cook (13), Mallory Brooks (12) and Madeline Howell (10) also contributed.
Elizabeth Gaughan led the Gaelic Knights (1-2) with 18 points while Colgate-bound Amarah Streiff had 16, something Siechen thought was a key to the win.
"Jilly Howell had the assignment of guarding Amarah early and Kat Taru had it late," said Siechen.
The Northstars travel to Fairport for a non-league game Tuesday. Bishop Ludden travels to Rome Free Academy on Wednesday.
