* Things started out in favor of the Tigers as Holy Family opened the game with six straight points.  The Tigers went on to outscore the Chargers, 16-7, in the opening quarter as the defense limited the hosts to just 3-of-14 from the field.
 
* Holy Family extended its lead to double-digits after senior Elizabeth Radley (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace Prep) opened the second quarter with a score to make it an 18-7 Tigers' lead.  However, momentum shifted as the quarter progressed.  The Chargers would outscore the Tigers, 23-11, after Holy Family took a double-digit lead and finish the first half with a 30-29 lead.
 
* Dominican opened the third quarter with a 10-1 run to lead 40-30 by the 6:36 mark.  The Chargers led by as many as 11 points (52-41) with less than two minutes remaining in the quarter.  The Tigers cut the deficit down to five with a mini 6-0 run to close out the quarter to trail 52-47.
 
* In the fourth, the Tigers came within four points of the lead after a jumper by Radley made the score 60-56 at the 6:17 mark.  A quick three-pointer by the Chargers' Ashley Merritt on the following possession gave the home team a seven-point advantage.  Dominican maintained its lead the rest of the way and pushed its advantage to as high as 12 points in the final minute.
