Game Recap
 
* Holy Family trailed early on in the opening quarter after Chestnut Hill jumped out to a 5-1 lead.  That all changed by quarters end as the Tigers surged to a double-digit lead by the three-minute mark.  Senior Casey Schweitzer (Lagrangeville, N.Y./Arlington) knocked down a three to give the Tigers a 17-7 advantage capping a 16-1 run.  Holy Family made three more three-pointers in the final three minutes to lead 26-10 heading into the second quarter.
 
* The Tigers shot 7-of-10 from deep range in the opening quarter and 9-of-15 overall from the field.  Holy Family went on to connect on 11 three-pointers for the game; one shy of its season-high.
 
* In the second quarter neither team was able to get anything going offensively.  Senior Elizabeth Radley (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace Prep) scored the first basket of the quarter at the 4:46 mark after Chestnut Hill previously made 2-of-4 from the free throw line.  Despite being held to just five points in the quarter the Tigers still managed to maintain their double-digit lead, including a 17-point advantage (31-14) at the 3:18 mark.  The Tigers led 31-19 at the half.
 
* In the third quarter the Tigers offense turned things around connecting on half their shots.  Freshman Moe Moore (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) led the way scoring 10 of her game-high 15 points in the quarter as she knocked down 4-of-6 from the field.
 
* In the second half the Tigers never trailed by less than 11 points maintaining a double-digit lead the rest of the way.  Holy Family led by as many as 21 points early on in the fourth quarter.   A layup score by Radley made the score 52-31 at the 8:33 mark.
