"This was a great win for us, because Wachusett beat us on a last second shot earlier in the season, so it was nice to get a little revenge," said head coach Russ Coward. "They are an excellent team, and we really struggled to move the ball on offense, but our defense played well and Cathryn Sennott took over the game for us."
The Ghosts finish their regular season on Thursday night at 5:30 against Bishop Feehan. They will be the #3 seed in the Division 1 North Sectional tournament if they win and the #4 seed if they lose.
