NASHUA – The Bishop Guertin High School girls basketball team has built its success over the last six-plus years on the defensive end.
No surprise then that when the Cardinals needed a spark Wednesday night against Central Catholic (Lawrence, Mass.), it was the defense that led them.
Down eight points early in the second half, Bishop Guertin held Central Catholic scoreless for a three-minute stretch while coming back to tie the game, then used a combination of steals and free throws to build a lead and hold off the Raiders for a 73-69 win at the Collignon Gymnasium.
Brooke Paquette finished with a game-high 31 points, including 14 of 16 at the free throw line, to go with 14 rebounds and six steals for Bishop Guertin. Two of those thefts came in the final 90 seconds, with the Cardinals (8-1) trying to close out the game.
