Skylar Reale (Warren, N.J./Morristown Beard) layup stretched the lead to 13-6 after one quarter.
• After Trebelev opened the second quarter with a layup to make it 13-8, Arnolie and
Jameson Mott layups sparked a 10-2 run to build a 23-10 advantage with 6:54 showing in the period. The lead grew as large as 31-16 on a
Shinya Lee (Rochester, N.Y./Holderness Prep School) layup with 2:07 remaining. Franklin & Marshall closed the half with six of the final 10 points to make it a 35-21 advantage at the break.
• With a 39-27 lead, Chrencik canned one free throw with 5:56 to play in the third quarter that sparked a 7-2 burst over the next three minutes en route to a 48-33 advantage after three quarters.
