Shinya Lee (Rochester, N.Y./Holderness Prep School) free throws with 18 seconds remaining closed the margin to 15-13 at the end of the quarter.
• Trailing 17-15 after Arnolie and Ally Trebelev traded baskets, a
Reagan Chrencik (New Hope, Pa./New Hope-Solebury) putback with 8:06 showing sparked a 7-0 run that gave the hosts the lead for good.
AB Holsinger (Charlottesville, Va./Langley) hit a jumper and
Tatum Murray (Newton, Mass./Newtown South) scored the next five for the 24-17 lead with 5:19 on the clock. Clinging to a 26-22 edge, an Arnolie jumper and five straight from Holsinger built a double-digit advantage with 2:34 remaining. The Diplomats tallied the next four to close within seven but two Holsinger tosses from the charity stripe in the final eight seconds made it a 35-26 game at the break.

Emily Violante (Easton, Pa./Easton Area) layup with 4:41 to play ignited a 12-1 close to the period that opened up the 18-point advantage heading the final quarter. Five different players scored for the Bullets, including
Ava O'Neil (Chevy Chase, Md./St. John's College) driving coast-to-coast in the final seven seconds of the period.
• The run extended to 16-1 before two free throws from Trebelev with 5:13 to play snapped the run. A Trebelv 3-pointer on the next possession was the Diplomats' first field goal in a 10-minute, 25-second span. Six points from
