The Bishop Guertin High School boys hockey team [exacted a bit of revenge](http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/244105/brady-victim-of-guertins-revenge?ref=nh-highschoolsports.com) Saturday, beating Bishop Brady 2-1 in the Division I quarterfinals.

The No. 4 Giants handed the No. 5 Cardinals their worst loss of the regular season - 5-0 on Bishop Guertin's home ice - and BG returned the favor to get back to the semifinals. The Cardinals will face No. 1 Trinity at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at JFK Coliseum in Manchester.

Erik Kelly and Austin Ricci both had goals for Bishop Guertin in the second period and goalie Andrew Pearson made 24 saves to help his team advance.

Shane Earley had a shorthanded goal for Bishop Brady with six minutes left in the game, but the Giants had a goal waved off and failed to score on a penalty shot in the second period.

Bishop Guertin and Trinity will be playing for a spot in the final to face either No. 3 Hanover or No. 7 Londonderry, which upset No. 2 Pinkerton in the quarterfinals.

The Tomahawks trailed the Bulldogs 2-0 going into the third period on Saturday, but Casey Bourque's goal with a little more than five minutes to play completed Merrimack's comeback. The 'Hawks will face No. 4 Bow, [which defeated No. 5 Keene](http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/244096/timely-turnaround?ref=nh-highschoolsports.com), in the semifinals at 7:30 on Wednesday at the Rinks in Exeter.
