How It Happened

The Lady Royals came out aggressive, as Kaci Kranson attacked the rim early and Kaeli Romanowski forced a turnover that immediately set the defensive tone.
Scranton found its rhythm quickly, getting a strong finish inside from Elizabeth Bennett before Kranson knocked down a three-pointer to spark an early run.
Strong defensive pressure led to transition points, including a fast-break layup from Romanowski, and a Bennett three stretched the lead to 14–4.
The momentum continued to build as Kranson scored again in the paint, and back-to-back threes from Meghan Lamanna pushed the advantage to 22–10 to close a dominant opening quarter.
In the second quarter, the Royals kept the pressure on with an and-one from Sophia Talutto, followed by another three-pointer from Kranson to extend the lead past 20.
Crisp ball movement highlighted the first half, including a sharp pass from Talutto to Bennett for an easy layup, while Lamanna added a corner three to keep the offense rolling into a 50–23 halftime lead.
Coming out of the break, Scranton continued to control the game as Kranson and Katie Gorski finished inside, and Lamanna drilled another corner three to extend the lead.
Late in the third, Bennett connected from beyond the arc and Kelsey Miedreich added a layup, sending the Lady Royals into the final quarter with a commanding advantage.
The depth of the roster shined in the fourth, with contributions from Selena Cieszko, Gabriella Murphy, Sabrina Kraker, Elyse Montgomery, Natalie Stoupakis, and Lizzie Halligan, whose late and-one capped off a dominant 93–42 victory for the Lady Royals.
