Northern York 58, Greencastle-Antrim 39: The Polar Bears played a stingy defense in the middle two quarters and used that advantage to hand the Blue Devils a Mid Penn Colonial defeat on the home court Friday night.

Northern led 17-15 after one quarter, but between a strong Bears defense and unforced errors, Greencastle was outscored 27-11 in that time span. G-A had 20 turnovers in the first half alone.

For the Blue Devils (2-4, 0-2 MPC), Meadow Gambacurta swished four 3-pointers and led the team with 14 points, and added 4 rebounds. Teammate Sophie Fries scored 8 points and hauled down 6 rebounds.

For Northern (5-0, 3-0 MPC), Delaney Moyer scored 16 points and Anna Lehman had 13.
