The Lady Falcons came out of the locker determined to push the ball up the court off of defensive rebounds.  A basket by Keyanah Price, followed by a Kyla Smith jumper, allowed Lackawanna to enjoy a 62-29 lead.  Ciaira Loyd would pick up her 4^th foul, but Alayah Cowan, Jamie Brann, Jazmin Wright and Allanah Bradford came off the bench and pushed the Lady Falcons' lead to 35 points.  Morris would answer with a basket, but as the quarter ended, Lackawanna took a 76-43 lead heading into the final 10 minutes.
