Another GMC foe, another win for St. Thomas Aquinas.
The top-seeded Trojan girls were 67-39 winners over 4th-seed Monroe Tuesday night – on the Falcons’ home floor – in the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament semifinals as heard on Central Jersey Sports Radio, presented by Dayton Toyota Service and Dayton Collision of South Brunswick.
Sophomore Gianna Chuffo led all scorers in the game with 21 points, all on threes, matching a career-high seven treys, a feat she also did just a couple of weeks ago in a non-conference loss to Saddle River Day.
Leah Crosby added 16, and finished with a double-double, adding 18 rebounds for Aquinas (19-6).
Monroe (14-8) was led by Haley Higgins with 12 points.
St. Thomas now gets a chance at a fourth straight full GMC Tournament title. They won in 2019 as Bishop Ahr and in 2020, but lost the Somogyi Family Pod final in 2021 to Monroe, before winning last year’s title game over South Brunswick.
You can hear Friday night’s final live on Central Jersey Sports Radio, with pregame at 5:45 and tipoff at 6, presented by Dayton Toyota.
