How It Happened

* Abington trailed by as many as 12 points early in the fourth quarter after Harrisburg's Giahny Correa drained a three-pointer to make the score 59-47.

* Over the next three-plus minutes of action, Abington rallied to cut the deficit down to four points thanks to a 10-3 run. Freshman Layla Reid finished off the rally with a fastbreak score that made the score 61-57 with 6:01 to play.

* Harrisburg pushed its lead to seven points at 64-57, but back-to-back scores by freshman Amirah Hackney quickly made it a three-point game with less than five minutes showing on the clock.

* Three points would be as close as Abington would get to Harrisburg as the home squad held the visitors to just two field goals in the final three minutes. Harrisburg shot 8-of-11 from the free throw line during that span to hold off Abington.

* Abington held its biggest lead of the game late in the first quarter when the Nittany Lions claimed a 22-17 advantage after a Hackney fastbreak basket. Harrisburg regained control of the lead in the second quarter and went on to a 37-30 lead entering the locker rooms at halftime.
