Photos: Jefferson Girls Basketball Rolls Into Second Round of State Tournament

Cassie Flaherty scores 21 points in the 71-54 victory over Bergenfield.

While Bergenfield controlled the opening tip-off and seconds later drained a three-pointer from the right side, and an easy layup on a steal to go up 5-0, the Lady Falcons quickly tied the game with their own three-pointer and layup and their game was on track. Jefferson ended the first quarter up 20-16 and never looked back.

Cassie Flaherty hit five three pointers to lead Jefferson with 21 points. Sammy Lapszinski poured in 19 points to contribute to the win.
