Wed. S.J. girls' roundup: Dombrowski sparks Maple Shade

Before the season began, the Maple Shade girls' basketball team suffered a huge setback, losing its center to injury.

Jill Dombrowski hasn't let the fact that she's 5-foot-8 and a guard by trade stop her from stepping into the void.

Embracing her new role as center, Dombrowski recorded a double-double Wednesday as Maple Shade beat host Pennsauken Tech, 51-28, in a nonleague game.

"She'll do anything I ask. All my girls will," coach Jennifer Weldon said. "They're all pretty versatile."

Allie Vallen added 11 points and Gabrielle Ashman added 10 for the Wildcats (2-7), who shot 43 percent from the field.

"We finished our layups and shots," Weldon said.

In another nonleague game, Lauren Holden and Maddi Gibson each scored 11 first-half points as Pleasantville cruised to a 54-26 win over visiting Lower Cape May. Holden finished with 15, and Gibson had 14.
