    Rising Sun rebounded quickly, closing out the quarter on a 13-2 spurt.
    "I was a little concerned," said Rising Sun's Brooke Bower. "We just started playing harder. We were a little flat-footed at the beginning so we picked it up at the end."
    Bower started the run with a three-point play and followed with a jumper. She then assisted on a basket by Paige Bradford.
    After Havre de Grace scored to trim their deficit to 35-29, Bower and Bradford scored to give the hosts a 39-29 cushion heading into the fourth quarter.
    "The one thing about our team that I see growth in is that they don't get rattled too much when they're down," Rising Sun coach Kathy Stoudt said. "They showed poise and were able to fight back and get a comfortable lead."
