A three-goal scoring outburst to open the second period carried the Bishop Guertin of Nashua girls hockey team to a 6-1 victory over St. Thomas/Winnacunnet/Dover and its first NHIAA state championship game Saturday at Dover Ice Arena.

The victory completed a 17-0 season for the Cardinals, whose only other previous title-game appearance came in 2010.
