How It Happened
 
* With the score 47-46 in favor of the Tigers with 12:45 to play in the second half, Holy Family turned the game into a one sided affair with one play.  Freshman Kharon Randolph (Philadelphia, Pa./Haverford School) knocked down a three-pointer and in the act of shooting was fouled.  He went on to convert the free throw for the four-point play that as a result turned into an 11-0 run for the Tigers over the next three minutes.  Freshman Patrick Robinson III (Chesterfield, N.J./Conwell Egan) capped the scoring with a three-point play of his own.  Robinson's free throw after scoring a layup made the score 58-56 with 9:55 to play.
 
* Holy Family's lead swelled to as many as 20 points later in the half when senior Mekhi Bryant (Fairless Hills, Pa./Pennsbury (Baltimore City C.C.)) drained a three-pointer to make the score 72-52 at the 5:49 mark.  Georgian Court would go on to outscore the Tigers, 15-5, the rest of the way but the score was already to far out of reach.
 
* Holy Family led by double-digits in the first half with a 25-12 advantage at the 8:04 mark.  Georgian Court cut into the lead and made the score 34-29 before halftime.
