It didn’t look good for the Holy Cross girls basketball team on Friday night at Torrington.
The Crusaders trailed their long-time NVL rival Raiders 42-28 entering the fourth quarter at the Connie Donahue Gymnasium.
Holy Cross turned the tables on Torrington and won 60-56 to improve to 2-0 on the season.
With as little as 2:12 to play in the fourth quarter, the Crusaders were down 53-50 to the Raiders. At 1:26 to go, Torrington still led 54-52.
From the 1:26 point on, the Crusaders outscored their opponent 8-2 to claim a stunning victory.
The game didn’t start out well at all for Holy Cross. The Crusaders found themselves in an 18-7 hole after one quarter. Holy Cross cut the deficit to 28-22 by the half, but Torrington outscored it 14-6 in the third quarter to lead 42-28.
That’s when the Crusaders began their march back into the game.
