Dominant Fourth Quarter Fuels Women’s Basketball’s Comeback at CSI

STATEN ISLAND – Trailing 43-48 entering the fourth quarter, the HFU women's basketball team outscored College of Staten Island 22-10 in the final period en route to a 65-58 triumph over the Dolphins on Saturday afternoon. 
 
HFU held CSI to just two points over the first 8:16 of the quarter, as Skyler Searfoss (Jim Thorpe, Pa./Jim Thorpe Area) and Taylor Hinkle (Chalfont, Pa./Central Bucks South) combined for nine of the 11 unanswered that put the Tigers ahead 54-48 on Searfoss' layup with 5:39 remaining. 
 
After the Dolphins scored their first basket of the period 24 seconds later, a Jessica Riepe (Marlboro, N.J./Marlboro) 3-pointer and Searfoss three-point play completed an 18-2 surge for the game's only double-digit lead, 60-50, with 3:53 left. 
 
Staten Island got as close as 62-58 with an even minute on the clock, but the Dolphins could never make it a one-possession game as Searfoss made three free throws in the final 36 seconds.

  • Searfoss scored 10 of her 11 points in the fourth quarter to fuel the comeback, and she added a team-high four steals and three assists, as well as six rebounds
