FROM KEITH GROLLER
Seton LaSalle got 10 points, 23 rebounds and six blocks from senior and University of Pittsburgh recruit Yacine Diop and stunned cold-shooting Neumann-Goretti in the PIAA 2A girls title game that started championship weekend on Friday afternoon at Hershey's Giant Center.
Goretti, just like the Central Catholic boys, lost for the first time in their 30th game.
Cold-shooting soured the Saints. They were just 16-for-66 from the field overalland 5-for-30 from 3-point range.
Goretti never led. The District 12 champs fell behind 5-0 and 10-3 at the outset and trailed by as much as 37-23 with 6:41 left in the third quarter, but came back to tie it at 44 and 46-all before going cold again.
Here's the box:
