Beland opened the second 8 minute segment and 2 from the charity stripe by Emily Houle gave the Bombardiers a 16-9 lead.  Foxboro followed with a Cassidy Harrison basket but a hoop by Deyo and free throws by LaPlume and Beland gave Attleboro a 22-11 lead.  Foxboro scored the next 5 points and the half ended 22-16, in favor of the Bombardiers.
