The Lions were never challenged during the second half as Jessy Gledhill's (Secane, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) trifecta pushed the lead to 22 with 15:35 to play. Seven minutes later, Hinton, MacArthur and Chrissy Gledhill combined to score nine-straight points for the Lions and Brandywine would cruise to the finish.
