How It Happened
 
* Post scored the game's first eight points and went on to open the first half with a 17-1 run as the Eagles took control of the game early.  Post led by as many as 23 points in the first half after a three-pointer by Levy Gillespie made the score 39-16 at the 8:11 mark.
 
* Holy Family cut the Eagles' lead down to single digits with less than three minutes to play in the opening half.  The Tigers used a 22-8 rally over a six minute span to make the score 47-38. However, the Eagles would regain their double-digit lead by the end of the half to lead 52-39 entering the locker rooms at halftime.
 
* Holy Family sparked a rally early in the second half to come within two possessions of the Eagles' lead.  Trailing 62-47 after a Post three-pointer, the Tigers rallied with a 13-2 run to make the score 64-60 with 11:40 to play.  However, once again the Eagles would respond, this time with a 20-4 run to increase the lead back to 20 points.  Post led 84-64 after its rally at the 7:04 mark.
