How It Happened
 
* A three-point play by junior Moe Moore (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) to close out the first quarter and give the Tigers a two-point advantage at 15-13, propelled the home squad to a big second quarter.  Holy Family outscored Dominican, 23-11, in the second frame and took advantage of free throw opportunities connecting on 8-fo-10 from the line.  Holy Family used a 12-4 run to start the quarter and grab its first double-digit lead of the game. Two free throws by senior Megan O'Connell (Philadelphia, Pa./St. Huberts) made the score 27-17 midway through the quarter.  The Tigers led by as many as 16 points in the quarter after another two free throws by O'Donnell made the score 38-22. The Tigers would enter the locker rooms at halftime with a 38-24 advantage.
 
* Holy Family pushed its lead to 21 points in the early part of the third quarter by scoring eight of the first nine points.  Sophomore Lindsay Tretter (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Wood) converted two technical free throws and on the upcoming possession the Tigers made the score 46-25 thanks to a jumper by sophomore Jenn Kokolus (Bethlehem, Pa./Freedom).  Holy Family would lead 60-41 by the end of the quarter as freshman Jessica Riepe (Marlboro, N.J./Marlboro) capped the scoring with a three-pointer.
 
* In the fourth quarter the Chargers made a run and cut the Tigers lead down to 12 points after a 9-2 run to open the quarter.  Ahead 62-50 with 5:16 to play, the Tigers responded with back-to-back baskets on their next two possessions to increase the lead to 66-50.  The Chargers outscored the Tigers, 18-11, in the quarter but the deficit was too much to overcome.
