New Kensington carried their momentum into the second half, not allowing Scranton to close within 8 points the rest of the way. All in all, the Lady Lions were able to convert 26 Scranton turnovers into 22 points on their way to a well-deserved 59-51 victory.

She finished with 23 and 12 respectively, adding 5 steals and 4 assists on the night.
