DIVISION I SEMIFINALS

Bishop Guertin 17, Souhegan 8

Dead even with fourth-seeded Souhegan, nearly halfway through the first half of Saturday night’s state semifinal at 4-4, the three-time defending Division I champion Bishop Guertin dominated the final 12 minutes of the first half, with eight of the game’s next nine goals.

Guertin ripped off three quick only to have Souhegan answer right back with tallies from Natalie Heimarck, Maddie Lim and Emma Kennedy (who finished with three goals). Stephanie Reap and Elle Stevenson then traded scores..
