LOWELL — Led by its experienced backcourt of senior Robbi Cardosa and junior Tianna Johnson, New Mission led from start to finish to win the Division 4 North title, beating Fenway, 64-55, at Tsongas Center in Lowell.

New Mission will face South winner Hull in the state final tomorrow at TD Garden.

Cardosa got New Mission off to a fast start, hitting an opening 3-pointer that would lead to a quick 10-2 lead for the Titans. Cardosa finished with 14 first-half point and New Mission held a 30-22 lead at the break.

The second half belong to Johnson. With Cardosa saddled with four fouls, Johnson scored eight points in the last five minutes, including four straight free throws in the last minute.
