How We Got Here
Holy Family once again over came a halftime deficit and used a big run in the second half to take control of the game.  The Tigers found themselves trailing by as many as eight points at the 15:16 mark of the second half by the score of 47-39.  Over the next 2:31 minutes, the Tigers went from trailing to leading the game by one point thanks to an 11-2.  Redshirt senior Reggie Charles (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) capped the run with a three-point play after converting a free throw on a layup basket. 
 
On the ensuing possession, Saint Rose grabbed the lead right back on a jumper by junior Tyler Sayre to make the score 51-50.  However, Holy Family scored on two straight possessions to retake the lead and this time hold it for good.  Charles scored on a layup and was followed by a three-pointer by senior Hunter Wysocki (Howell, N.J./Colts Neck) to make the score 55-51 with 11:27 to play. Wysocki totaled six points and grabbed four rebounds. 
 
Later in the half Saint Rose tied the game at 59-59 at the 6:57 mark, but Holy Family answered right back not allowing the Golden Knights to grab the lead.  Redshirt senior Eric Fleming (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) knocked down a three-pointer to give the Tigers a 62-59 advantage with just over six minutes to play. Fleming was one of four players to score in double-figures for the Tigers as he finished with 11 points.
 
From there, Holy Family extended its lead to as many as seven points with less than two minutes on the clock.  Senior Isaiah Gans (Philadelphia, Pa./Redemption Christian Academy) gave the Tigers a 73-66 lead with his final basket of the day as he finished with 14 points to go along with five rebounds.
