Cavallo recovering quickly
BY ADAM RONIS
Unless you see the scars on both knees, Wetshampton coach Mike Polan said you would have no idea senior 6-2 center Kelly Cavallo had ACL tears in each of her knees the past two seasons. Judging by her peformance through the first seven games, we won't argue.
Cavallo had a career-high 35 points and added 15 rebounds and four blocked shots in a 47-35 win over Mt. Sinai tonight. Cavallo had all of the team's points in a 17-5 fourth quarter. She went 8-for-12 from the free-throw line in the quarter.
"For us to be successful this year, she has to put the team on her back," Polan said.
She certainly did tonight. Cavallo will attend St. Joseph's (Pa.) next year, but Polan believes the injuries gave her a stigma of being injury prone and scared off some schools. Cavallo is averaging 23.4 points. If Cavallo stays healthy, Westhampton should make a deep run in Suffolk Class A.
