The Knights took control of the game from the opening tap and outscored the Lions by 14.  After a slow start, the Lions fought back to cut the Knights' lead and were winning by six at halftime.  During halftime, Coach Farnese took some time to refocus his players in the locker room, stating "as a team we are losing focus of our team principles. We have to think before we react and make good decisions on the offensive and defensive ends".  Neumann came out strong in the second half to regain control of the contest. Led by Kylynn McNichol (Academy of Notre Dame/Havertown, PA) who scored two 3-point shots, and Nellie Mixon (West Catholic/Philadelphia,PA) who shot six of eight from the field, the Knights we able to make it two in a row on the season.
