BOSTON – In one other robust check, Bishop Feehan used a late surge towards Catholic Central League opponent Cathedral throughout a ladies basketball conflict Tuesday evening.
With solely a 50-47 benefit, the Shamrocks scored the ultimate 12 factors to place away the Panthers 62-47 on the street to convey their present win streak to 3.
“(My girls) showed some fortitude and stuck together,” mentioned Bishop Feehan coach Amy Dolores. “(Cathedral) is a tough place to play. It was a tough team that is fast and aggressive. They pressured us and we weathered the storm. They did it together and it was great to see.”
Sophomore Charlotte Adams-Lopez (9 factors) scored the primary 5 of the run and Sammy Reale completed it off with 5 of her 9 fourth-quarter factors to maintain Cathedral (12-4) from holding it shut.
“(Reale) has been that for us all season long and I am not surprised she kept it up for us today,” Dolores mentioned about her senior captain. “She has been a great leader for us and has been a scorer when we have needed it. She has been a huge contribution.”
Reale completed with 27 factors and 10 rebounds to guide the Shamrocks.
Bishop Feehan (14-3) constructed a 14-point lead within the third after a three-pointer for sophomore Madelyn Steele went down. The Panthers stored their aggressive type of play and reduce the lead all the way down to 46-40 after three.
From there, Cathedral knocked down a pair threes to start out the fourth to make it a one possession contest. The protection then took over as Bishop Feehan held the Panthers scoreless over the ultimate 4 minutes.
“We definitely did a better job on the defensive (glass),” Dolores mentioned about her group stepping up on the defensive aspect of the ball. “(Cathedral) hurt us on the offensive glass early.”
In the primary half, neither group had clear management as they exchanged six lead adjustments and two ties with the Shamrocks up 15-12 after one.
Cathedral stored it shut all through the second quarter, however a late three-point play for junior Julia Webster (15 factors) helped push the result in 29-24 on the half.
“Julia really found her shot with the shot at the end of the second quarter,” mentioned Dolores. “With that shot, she really found confidence in her shot and she rode that through the second half. It’s really huge for us when she plays like that.”
For the Panthers, sophomore Hijjah Allen-Paisley netted 12 factors and freshman Keyona Raines added 11 factors. The loss snapped a five-game win streak for Cathedral.
