The Lady Chargers recorded the game's only basket as Alpreshia Parker (Pocono Summit, Pa.) made a jump shot, but an 8-4 spurt put the Devils ahead, 8-6, with 3:25 remaining in the quarter.  Back-to-back Devil treys extended their lead to 14-6 and a three-point bucket to end the quarter gave them an 17-10 advantage.
