FIVE THINGS

1. Bensalem was impressive. Junior 5-foot-11 center Sharmane Hall is strong, skilled and quick. Junior guard Kristen Gilroy had an off night, but is a scorer.

2. Bensalem junior guard Kate Clarkson had 16 points and junior forward Jackie Deegler finished with 13 points and six rebounds. Senior point guard Megan Pritchard had three assists.

3. Abington sophomore foward Emily Leer is a well-rounded player, but had foul trouble.

4. Bensalem could end up challenging for the SOL National title. The Owls only league loss so far was by 10 to CB South.

5. Abington guard Carla Klemmer hit three 3-pointers in a span of two minutes in the fourth quarter. The Ghosts had seven 3-pointers as a team.
