Guerin Catholic dropped a Circle City Conference game at Heritage Christian 70-24 on Saturday.
The Golden Eagles trailed 21-11 after the first quarter, after which Heritage outscored GC 23-0 in the second period to lead 44-11 at halftime. Nicole Cunningham led Guerin with 10 points, including two 3-pointers.
“Although we tried to prepare for it, the speed of HC got them off to a quick start and we fought to stay within striking distance in the first quarter,” said Golden Eagles coach Jeff Buckner, who noted that his team was still diving on the floor for loose balls and tieups late in the fourth quarter.
Guerin Catholic is now 0-2 in the conference and 2-4 overall. The Golden Eagles are off until Nov. 29, when they host Yorktown.
“The girls are determined to continue working to be a better team each time we take the floor,” said Buckner.
