How It Happened
Sharp shooting led to Holy Family's second largest scoring output of the season.  The Tigers knocked down 56.3-percent of their shots, including an impressive 66.7-percent (22-33) in the second half alone.  An 11-2 run midway through the first half gave Holy Family its first double-digit lead of the game.  Freshman Maliq Sanders (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern Regional) capped the run with a jumper that made the score 21-10 at the 9:03 mark. 
 
Holy Family led by as many as 16 points (32-16) in the first half before the Warriors cut the lead down to single digits right before halftime. Robert Tyler scored a layup with :52 seconds remaining in the half to cap the scoring as Holy Family saw its double-digit lead disappear for a brief moment entering halftime with a 33-24 advantage.
 
In the second half, the Tigers used a 23-0 run over a five-minute span to turn a single digit game into a one-sided affair.  Junior Dyllon Hudson-Emory (Harrisburg, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) capped the run with a three-point play the old fashion way after converting a free throw after scoring a layup to give the Tigers a 64-32 lead with 11:01 to play.  Hudson-Emory, who finished with 21 points, made his first six shots of the game. 
 
Holy Family increased its lead to as high as 38 points (78-40) at the 5:50 mark of the half.
