The Bishop Guertin High School girls hockey team made a statement that they will be a team to be reckoned with this winter with a season-opening 8-2 win over Concord Saturday night at Everett Arena.

Jenna Lynch (with two assists) Julie McLaughlin (one assist) and Tessa Wilkie had two goals apiece for the Cards, who got single scores from Lindsay Hult and Kathryn Simpson.

Guertin was trailing 2-1 late in the first period, but Simpson scored on a pass from Husson with 16.7 seconds left to tie the game.

Then in the second, Hult from McLaughlin gave the Cards a 3-2 lead at 2:10 of the second and Guertin never looked back. The Cards led 5-2 after two.
