Winthrop girls basketball kicks off season with big win

The Winthrop girls basketball team has been waiting since March to get back on the floor, and Friday was the day. The Vikings came out on fire in their season opener, notching a 56-22 win over Gloucester at home in a Northeastern Conference bout.

“We’re just super thankful to be able to get out there and compete again,” said Winthrop coach Joe Lowe. “It was honestly pretty surreal to see girls out there on the court competing, and we were all really excited.”
