Mabor Gabriel scored 26 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, including 12 on the offensive glass, to lead the Trinity High School boys basketball team to a 60-58 win Tuesday over Nashua South in the Division I boys basketball semifinals.

Carmen Giampetruzzi added 17 points and 10 boards, as the No. 1 Pioneers (20-1) got out to an early lead and held on at the end, despite a furious second-half comeback by the No. 4 Panthers (16-5). South led, 51-48, with 5:24 left and the game was tied at 53 with 3:21 to play, and while neither team shot well from the free throw line down the stretch, Trinity was good enough to close out the win.

Trinity was 5 of 13 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter, but got two big ones from Giampetruzzi with 1:20 left to stretch a one-point lead to three. South was 3 of 9 from the line in the final eight minutes, and just 2 of 6 in the final 17 seconds after twice getting fouled on 3-point attempts.

Tim Preston led the Panthers with 22 points while David Dunham had eight points and eight boards. But South was outrebounded 39-28 and outscored at the line, 19-7.

Trinity will now face No. 7 Bishop Guertin in the Division I championship game on Saturday at 3 p.m. at the University of New Hampshire.
