Holy Cross and Holy Redeemer battled Friday afternoon for the AA Girls District Championship. Holy Redeemer was looking for it's first District Title since 2009. Holy Cross was looking for it's first Girls Basketball District Title. Lauren Franklin of Holy Cross would score the first basket of the District Finals but the Royals went on a 7-0 run and would lead 13-8 after a quarter of play. Holy Cross would not quit, Alyssa Alfano hit a 3 to start the quarter and Abby Anderson's made free throw would cut the lead but Talia Kosierowski hit a 3 to extend their lead to 4. Holy Cross would eventually take the lead at 25-24 on a Lauren Franklin 2. The rest of the quarter would be back and forth and would be tied at 29 at halftime. Holy Redeemer's Rebecca Prociak scored 4 straight points to start the quarter til a Lexi Walsh 3 ended the run, but Redeemer would go on a 6-0 run to end the quarter and only gave up the one 3-pointer and lead 40-34 after 3. In the fourth quarter, Holy Cross cuts the lead to 3 late in the game but the Royals hit their free throws and seal the District and their first District Title since 2009 by the score of 52-47. Talia Kosierowski led the Royals scoring with 14 along with 2 other Royals in double digit scoring. Lydia Lawson had 11 points and Meghan Corridoni added 10 points for the Royals. For the Crusaders, Abby Anderson had a game-high 15 points and Alyssa Alfano added 13.
Thoughts on the game: Talia Kosierowski had a great game, not only by scoring 14 points but by several plays on defense, not to be overlooked but Meghan Corridoni had a great fourth quarter, scoring 6 of her 10 points. For the Crusaders, I thought they played a great game but only scoring 3 points in the third quarter ended up biting them in the end. Congrats to Holy Redeemer for winning the District 2 Girls AA Title.
