Game Recap
 
* After an opening basket by Wilmington to start the scoring, the Tigers knocked down three straight three-pointers capped with a layup basket by freshman Moe Moore (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) to take an 11-2 lead by the 7:25 mark of the first quarter. The Tigers expanded their lead to as many as 14 points in the quarter after yet another three-pointer, this time by senior Elizabeth Radley (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace Prep), to make the score 24-10.  Holy Family finished the first quarter with a 29-16 advantage.
 
* In the second quarter the Wildcats made a run cutting the Tigers lead to just five points late.  A layup by Sabreen Muslim made the score 31-26 with 3:27 to play in the half.  Holy Family quickly increased its lead back to double-digits thanks to back-to-back three-pointers by graduate Mia Ehling (Linden, N.J./Holmdel (St. Francis)).  Wilmington would follow with a basket to make the score 37-28 with just over a minute to play before halftime and that would be the score entering the locker rooms at halftime.
