The Warriors jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the first half, with the run featuring four points from freshman Akilah McFadden (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg Area), continuing to hold the lead and take a 16-11 lead into the second quarter after a pair of free throws from freshman Kayla Kline (Mifflinburg, Pa./Mifflinburg Area) with 19 seconds left.
