SEVEN THINGS

1. CB East (13-8 overall, 11-2 SOL Continental) clinched at least a share of the league championship with the victory, and will likely secure the title outright with a win over Hatboro-Horsham (0-13 SOL) on Friday.

2. East jumped out to a 9-1 lead and never trailed. The Patriots were ahead by 13, 28-15, at the half and held an 18-point lead, 48-30, with a little more than six minutes remaining. Tennent went on a 12-0 run to get within six points, but could not get closer.

3. Sophomore Liz Martin had 14 points and nine rebounds for CB East, and junior Jaime Donovan scored 12 points. Jordan Seiz scored 10 points, and Sarah Pullar added eight points and eight rebounds.

4. CB East lost two of its first three league games, but has now won 10 straight in the SOL. In the last three weeks, East won at Norristown, at Council Rock-North and at William Tennent to take the league.

5. Freshman Ashley Alden had 13 points for Tennent, and sophomore forward Sarah Godfrey added 12 points.

6. “After starting 1-2, I think the only people who believed we could do it were the 17 of us, the coaches and our parents,” CB East senior Alli Rosati said.

7. “When we fell to 1-2 in the conference, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned,” CB East coach Tom Lonergan said. “But we had a huge fourth quarter in that game against Tennent and pulled out the victory. Then we had key road wins at Norristown, Council Rock-North and Souderton. I give this team a lot of credit. This is our fourth big road win in the second half of the season.”
