Dover High School senior Lilly Nossiff scored 34 points on Dec. 19 to lead the Green Wave to a 72-65 Division I victory over visiting Nashua North, reaching the 1,000-point milestone for her varsity career.

Nossiff scored her 26th point of the game with five minutes remaining in the close contest. Play was briefly halted for the announcement.

She joins a select group of Dover girls who have scored more than 1,000 points in their careers. Nossiff, who will play basketball at Saint Anselm College next year, follows in the footsteps of former Dover standouts Jill Downer, the school's all-time leading scorer, and Curran Leighton.

Nossiff's name will be added to the wall in Ollie Adams Gymnasium alongside other 1,000-point scorers: Katrina Krenzer (2019), Curran Leighton Goodwin (2009), Seana Boyle (2003), Jessica Clark Cummings (2002), Downer (1998), Lynne Richard Chavez (1979) and Karen Vitko Wood (1979).

A game ball presentation will honor Nossiff before Dover's next home game on Jan. 2, 2025.
