BG girls in semifinals, too

The Bishop Guertin High School girls hockey team will participate in its first NHIAA playoff game Tuesday.

All that's at stake is a spot in the Division I championship game.

As the No. 2 seed, the Cardinals got a bye into the semifinal round, which means they haven't faced another team since Feb. 27. BG will take on No. 6 Oyster River, which upset No. 3 Concord in the quarterfinals, at 5:30 p.m. at the Everett Arena in Concord.

The teams played twice during the regular season, splitting the two games.

Here's a closer look at the game, and a look at how the program started.
