The Westport girls basketball team returned to pulverizing their opponents after losing a close contest to West Bridgewater last Friday. The captains combined for 45 points as the Wildcats clobbered Wareham 52-29 in a non-league away game on Monday. Sophomore center Jenna Egbe broke out for a personal best 12 points as Westport trampled Holbrook 56-7 in a Mayflower Athletic Conference home game on Wednesday. The pair of wins improved their record to 9-1. 

“We needed a good bounce back win,” head coach Jen Gargiulo said after the Wareham game. Captains Korynne Holden, Leah Syvain and Sarah Perry combined for 13 steals and 45 points.

The senior guard led the team in assists and also made 4 steals. Perry scored 10 points and tallied 4 steals and 4 rebounds.
