Before the game started, it was announced that over the weekend in a tournament, Scott had reached 1,000 career points. 

“I’m very grateful to be in the position to be able to play basketball, and that I have had the opportunity to be on varsity for these past three seasons. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without such good teammates, great coaches, a great program and God,” said Scott.

The game started quickly, with a layup made by Megan Oliver, with the assist from Scott. Great defense was seen from Wethersfield, forcing turnovers.
