SEVEN THINGS
1. Archbishop Wood (18-5) trailed by two points, 8-6, after the first quarter. But Wood hit six 3-pointers in a 27-point second quarter to build a 15-point lead, 33-18, at halftime. The Saints never got closer than 15 points in the second half.
2. Wood senior center Ashley Robinson finished with 24 points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots. She had 17 points in the second half. Robinson had nine points in the third quarter and eight in the fourth before going to the bench with a few minutes left in the game. She was seven for eight from the free throw line in the second half and 12 for 14 overall.
3. The Vikings had eight 3-pointers in the game. Jen Maxwell (12 points) hit four 3-pointers, including three in a span of 1:10 in the second quarter.
4. Wood faces Archbishop Ryan (18-5) in the PCL semifinals at Gwynedd-Mercy College on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. The Vikings won the regular season meeting, 50-44, on Jan. 27.
5. “What can you say about (Robinson)? It’s playoff time and we’ll go to her,” Wood coach Jim Ricci said. “In the first half, they surrounded her in that zone. But Jen (Maxwell) and Steph (Keyes) got off (shooting 3-pointers) and that pulls people away (from Robinson).”
6. Maxwell suffered a badly sprained ankle in the first game of the season and missed more than a month. She only recently began to feel 100% and just returned to the starting lineup in Wood's regular season finale last week. "She’s really important to us offensively and as a leader,” Ricci said. “We really needed her shooting to get us going."
7. Maxwell and Stephanie Keyes (eight points) combined for five 3-pointers in the last 3:41 of the first half.
