Girls’ Basketball

Merrimack Valley 52, Bishop Brady 32

Key players: MV – Nora Navoy (17 points), Kayla Smith (11 points, 11 rebounds), Annika Horne (10 points); Bishop Brady – Morgan Casey (15 points)

Highlights: The Pride led 14-7 after the first quarter, 29-10 at halftime and 36-23 heading into the fourth.

Coach’s quote: “I thought we came out to start the game with a lot of energy. We executed well vs. their 3-2 zone and built the lead at half. We hit six 3s in the first half off of good ball movement and locating the open player. To start the third, we let up a bit defensively. We’ve had a tendency to do that, so I need to do a better job of preparing our girls to play with more energy to start the second half. Overall good team win. Very proud of the way we played. We have some time to practice before playing Stark next Tuesday.” – MV’s Bob McNutt

Records: MV 2-1; Bishop Brady 1-3
