Whittier's Terranova joins 1,000-point club

HAVERHILL — Andrea Terranova scored 15 points to surpass 1,000 points for her career and high-flying Whittier rolled over Methuen, 69-44.
"Andrea Terranova is a girl who has really worked on her game," said Whittier coach Kevin Bradley. "We're very proud of her. She can score (she now has 1,012 points) but has a lot of assists, too. She can drive by anybody with her speed and she's a threat from the outside. She made the commitment to be one of the best."
The 5-7 senior from Haverhill could be joined soon in the millennium club by Michaela Martin, who scored a game-high 19 points. Bradley said Martin should do the trick in the next game or two.
Whittier is a Division 4 school and the Rangers are in Division 1 but that has become commonplace for the 14-0 Wildcats, who already have eye-opening wins over North Andover and 2013 Division 1 state runner-up Holy Name of Worcester.
Bradley said, "These girls are working hard, they are just getting better. They are doing things that amaze me every night. I love the pressure. We tell them everybody want to be the first to knock you out."
Fourteen have tried and 14 have failed. And the schedule is rugged. The Cats only play six Commonwealth Conference game and then the rest non-league matchups.
Last night the high scoring Terranova-Martin duo got help from shotblocking whiz Samnell Vonleh (10 points, 13 blocks) and Dominique Ortiz (12 rebounds).
