Game Recap
 
* Holy Family trailed by as many as nine points in the fourth quarter after Bloomfield's Jaylah Bennett connected on a three-pointer at the 3:26 mark to make the score 47-56.  Over the next three-plus minutes the Tigers outscored the Bears, 14-3, to overcome the deficit and secure the come-from-behind the victory.
 
* The Tigers jumpstarted the rally with two possessions resulting in free throws as freshman Moe Moore (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) and senior Elizabeth Radley (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace Prep) converted both their attempts respectively.  With 1:01 left to play, Ehling knocked down a big three-pointer after sophomore Megan O'Connell (Philadelphia, Pa./St. Huberts) came up with a steal leading to the score.  Ehling's three made the score 56-54 capping the 7-0 run.
 
* Bloomfield halted the Tigers run after splitting a pair of free throws.  However, Moore went back to the line and converted 2-of-2 to bring the Tigers within one point.  The Bears once again split a pair of free throws on their next possession to make it a two-point game.  On the ensuing possession, Ehling gave the Tigers their first lead since the :14 second mark of the third quarter with another clutch three-pointer.
 
* With the Tigers leading 59-58 with :22 seconds left, Bloomfield drew a fall sending another player to the free throw line.  The Bears though struggled from the line down the stretch as they once again split a pair of free throw attempts, this time tying the game at 59-59. 
 
* Junior Anjelai Hayes (Woodbury, N.J./Woodbury) took the inbounds pass and went the length of the court.  Hayes found Ehling in the far-right corner where she knocked down a jumper to give the Tigers a 61-59 lead.  On the following possession, the Holy Family defense stifled the Bears and forced a jump ball situation giving possession back to the Tigers with less than a second on the clock.
 
* Holy Family held a five-point lead, its largest of the game, late in the third quarter.  The Tigers trailed 36-33 at the 5:17 mark and used an 8-0 run take a 41-36 lead with 2:21 to play in the quarter. However, the Bears responded with a 10-2 run to close out the quarter to regain the lead, 46-43.
