Red Bank Catholic 50 Saint Rose 48 | Girls | Shore Conference Tournament Final

Tessa Carman gathered a feed from Addy Nyemchek with :08 left to score the game winning basket on her future college home floor to give the Caseys their first Shore Conference title since 2013. RBC trailed 46-41 with under four minutes to go before getting a Nyemchek steal and layin followed by a Tessa Liggio three-pointer. Jada Lynch, who led all scorers with 17 points and 8 rebounds, gave Saint Rose a 48-46 lead late in the fourth just seconds after Liggio tied the game. After Nyemchek (13 points) made two free throws to tie the game, Christina Liggio caused a turnover setting the stage for Carman’s heroics.
