HACKENSACK -- Bergen Tech's dynamic duo of Hannah Sparkman and Megan Bosi combined for 28 points as the 10th-seeded Knights pulled away from No. 23 Ridgefield Park for a 46-25 win.

Sparkman scored 12 of Tech's 16 first half points but the Scarlets only trailed by 7 at halftime. The second half was all Knights, as Bosi ignited a 15-6 run that put Ridgefield Park in a 31-15 hole after three quarters.

The Scarlets defended well but were equally sloppy on offense, committing 33 turnovers and shooting just 8 of 39 from the floor. Gianna Scerbo led RP with 9 points, while Nicole Santuoso chipped in 8.

Bergen Tech will take on seventh-seeded Pascack Hills, a 29-16 winner over Park Ridge on Saturday, next weekend in the Round of 16 of the BCWCA Tournament.
