WAUSAU – Sydney Galang made 11 of 16 free throws and scored a game-high 20 points to lead Wausau Newman Catholic to a 39-32 win over Stratford in a Marawood Conference South Division girls basketball matchup Tuesday night at Newman Catholic High School.
Stratford was held to 12 points in the first half and trailed by seven going into the break. The Cardinals were able to finish off the win by making enough free throws to keep the Tigers at bay.
