THE REST OF THE STORY

Caitlyn Priore (Holland, Pa./Germantown Academy) made a bucket that started a Bullets' scoring run, which
Kylie Holcomb (Enola, Pa./Cumberland Valley) capped off at the end of the quarter with a buzzer-beater 3-pointer that gave the Bullets a 27-4 lead.
• Holcomb began the Bullets' scoring in the second quarter with another triple, but Kris Pasia responded with her own two and a half minutes later. Almost two more minutes would go by before
Shinya Lee (Rochester, N.Y./Holderness Prep School) scored twice in one minute to give the Bullets a 34-7 advantage.
Kimberly Hopkins scored two baskets of her own within 30 seconds, recording her first collegiate buckets.
Cynthia Williams laid one in with 34 seconds left in the half, and Hopkins drove in for a buzzer-beating layup to yield a 42-10 score going into the locker rooms.
• Gettysburg's starting lineup combined to put up 18 points at the beginning of the second half to give the Bullets a 60-12 lead, and Lee and
Courtney Kelly would combine with
Emily Violante (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) to go on a 9-4 run to finish out the quarter. Bryn Mawr converted two free throws and one jumper within the stretch.
• Kelly laid in a basket with 8:55 showing in the final quarter, but it would be Hannah Govert who converted next for Bryn Mawr with just over seven to play. Two Williams layups sandwiched a basket by the Owls' Ella Kotsen to make the score 75-20.
