Their offense managed to give a bit more of a output in the second putting 11 more points on the board to go along with Cambria’s 17. The Lady Eagle’s went into the locker room trailing 30-18  looking for a way to break the press.

Both teams played stride for stride with each other in the third quarter. Tyrone kept Penn Cambria in foul trouble all night. They kept the game close in the third capitalizing on every attempt at the line. Tyrone made it a ten point game at one point in the third, but Penn Cambria’s lead was too much to handle as Tyrone still trailed 44-30 after three.

Penn Cambria slammed the door close in the fourth holding Tyrone to only 6 points while bolstering their lead scoring 17 more as they iced the game ending defeating the Lady Eagles 61-36 ending their district title hopes.
