Among girls 29 and younger, former Shalhevet stars Sigal Spitzer ‘15 and Nicole Newman ‘16 led the Firehawks to win of 23-14, with Sigal scoring 10 points to lead the team.

In the men’s game, YULA beat Shalhevet 74-55. Former Panther Daniel Muller also won the three-point competition and received a $100 Bloomingdales gift card as a prize.

Shalhevet alumnus Alex Fleshner ’09, who organized the event, said the money would be divided among four organizations: the Glouberman Tournament, the #Hope4Adam cause, and the Shalhevet and YULA Israel advocacy clubs.
