Brandywine raced out to a 15-0 lead through four minutes and led 27-8 after one quarter thanks to 7-of-11 shooting from three-point territory. 

The rout continued in the second period as Coacher completed a three-point play and Floyd converted two steals into a pair of fast-break layups, upping the count to 35-8. 

The Lions owned a 45-10 lead at the break and saw their lead swell as large as 48 points when Brooks sank a free throw at the 2:50 mark of the third period.

Brandywine shot 42 percent from the field, buried 10 triples and grabbed 60 rebounds, while limiting Wilkes-Barre to 13 percent shooting.
