Lowell | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Central Catholic | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Rachel Bourque picked the right time to heat up offensively. She scored twice to lead No. 7 Central Catholic to a 2-0 victory over No. 10 Lowell in the first round of the Division 1 North tournament.
Bourque's two goals were her first two of the season after she netted six last year. She did miss a month this season with shin splints.
"Normally, she's a more prolific goal scorer," Central coach Anne Marinaro said. "She's been scoreless all year for us which is not the norm. ... I'm really happy for her and the bench exploded when she scored her first."
Bourque fired a shot into the low corner of the net with about 4 minutes left in the first to put her team up 1-0. She scored the second one off a rebound in the second half.
Central's defense held Lowell to four shots. Lowell's strength typically is its offense, Marinaro said.
Central plays a quarterfinal game against No. 2 Winchester at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
