St. Joseph head coach Mike Toro had a plan Tuesday night against Bishop Kearney in its CHSAA Class A game: contain star point guard Casey O’Shaughnessy, which they did, draping double teams on her all game long while limiting the Marine Park resident to 22 points — a low output for her — en route to 53-41 victory at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights.
“We just feel like she is a lot of their team,” Toro told BrooklynSportsWorld.com. “So, if we could kind of control her, I felt we’d be all right in the game.”
The Cougars (8-4) led Bishop Kearney (7-4) by a point (15-14) at the end of first period, with O’Shaughnessy draining nine points.
