Both Hornet teams kicked off its 2022-23 seasons with huge starts, both defeating Harvard on the road Thursday. 
The girls team shot the ball over 70 times on the night, picking up a 43-18 win while the boys team rolled to a 50-21 win. 
In the girls game, the Hornet offense exploded on a 14-3 run in the first quarter before holding Harvard scoreless in the second, up 21-3 at the half. 
“The speed of the game was a bit slower,” Giltner girls coach Nancy Lockmon noted. “We played a lot of rotations, which helped us not get so tired."
