Lady Bulldogs earn win on senior night
The Lady Bulldogs defeated the Lady Warriors of Seekonk on Feb. 10 at the team’s final home game.
Seniors Morgan Browning, Kaleigh Goulart and Ashley Pacheco were recognized during ORR’s Senior Night. The game was tense, but the Lady Bulldogs came up with a big win in the end.
Every minute of the first three quarters was contested. Constant small lead swings alternated between the teams. The Lady Bulldogs led 10-9 at the end of the first quarter. By halftime, ORR was down 15-17. The end of the third quarter saw the Lady Bulldogs with a 3-point advantage, 30-27.
In the fourth quarter, the Lady Bulldogs scored 16 points and held Seekonk to only 4 points. This huge fourth quarter catapulted sophomore Sophie Church’s and senior Goulart’s point contributions to 14 and 12, respectively.
The Senior Night win meant a lot to the Bulldogs, especially their three seniors. Browning commented that when she was younger, she would watch her neighbor play basketball for ORR. After witnessing her neighbor’s Senior Night, Browning found it hard to believe that she had just played her own.
With this win on Senior Night, the Lady Bulldogs improved to an 11-6 overall record. Now ORR finishes the regular season on the road and will travel to Wareham on Friday, Feb. 20.
