THE SKINNY STORY

THE LEADERS
• Mallory Conroy (Ellicott City, Md./Marriotts Ridge) led the Green Terror with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
FOR THE FOES
• Halena Martin led the Owls with nine points.
• Sydney Collins contributed six points and 12 rebounds.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• The first quarter was back and forth, featuring four ties and six lead changes and neither team leading by more than three points. After a Laya Paladugu jumper gave Bryn Mawr a 12-9 lead with 3:14 showing, Jayce Klingenberg (Hampstead, Md./Manchester Valley) and Jamese Word (Belmont, Mass./Lexington Christian Academy) each hit fast-break layups for a 13-12 edge after one quarter.
• The back-and-forth continued for the first six minutes of the second period before two Paladugu free throws tied the game for the sixth and final time at 18-all with 3:31 to play. A Natalie Mehl (Hamilton, N.J./Steinert) 3-pointer in the corner ignited the game-changing run. Mehl had all seven of her points over a 9-0 finish to the half.
• Mallory Conroy bookended the 8-4 start to the third quarter that pushed the advantage to 13 with 5:48 remaining. After an Emily Garner layup closed the margin to 37-26, Hannah Zajac (Houston, Texas/Clear Creek) hit a jumper to start an 8-1 close to the quarter, pushing the advantage to 45-27 after three periods.
• An Angela DiNunzio (Moorestown, N.J./Paul VI) jumper nearly a minute into the fourth quarter pushed the lead to 20 for the first time and the lead remained between 17 and 21 points for the entire final period.
