Salisbury head coach Jason Weaver used his halftime speech to instill a sense of urgency into his players.

It paid dividends for his Falcons, as they erupted from the locker room to put the game away and defeat Northern Lehigh, 60-31.The Falcons, who remain undefeated in Colonial League play, turned a 25-16 halftime lead into a 42-20 margin after the third and went on to cruise to the victory.The Bulldogs committed five turnovers in the first four minutes of the third stanza, allowing the pivotal run to all but decide the outcome."Northern Lehigh was playing hard in the first half and I thought we were playing sloppy," Weaver said. "At halftime, I told the guys that whoever was in the game for us needed to step it up and start playing harder."On the first possession, we spread out the floor, worked the ball around and [Brendan] Reichenbach hit a three and boom, we went from there."Five different players scored in the third for the winners, including five apiece from Tevon Weber and Reichenbach."That run in the beginning of the third was huge," Northern Lehigh head coach Jeff Miller said. "Then they got an offensive rebound and hit a three and that, with the turnovers, was the difference."The Falcons (15-2 overall,12-0 Colonial League) stormed out to a 15-5 advantage after the first quarter. Joe Egan accounted for all of Northern Lehigh's scoring, but after his second bucket, Salisbury closed the first on a 7-0 run, including four from Jaxon Costello.In the second, the Bulldogs (4-13, 3-9) breathed some life into the contest, outscoring the Falcons 11-10 to cut it to nine at the intermission. Aaron Hofmann's back-to-back baseline jumpers led the way for the locals in the second period.Salisbury managed to use its run in the third to earn the win, while two of its starters were sidelined with injuries in Dylan Belletiere and Bryce Fairclough.Despite scoring 60 points as a team, the Falcons didn't have a player reach double figures. Reichenbach led the way with nine and Ryan Slutsky added eight.For the Bulldogs, Egan led all scorers with 10, while David Shupp added nine.Statistically, Salisbury held a distinct 33-22 edge in rebounds and turnovers (12-14) in the game, while also shooting 42 percent (26-63) from the floor, in comparison to the Bulldogs' 33percent (14-43).The Falcons also prevailed in the JV contest, 67-43.SALISBURYJones 1-0-0-3, Weber 4-1-2-9, Cooperman 3-0-0-7, Brawn 2-0-0-4, Reichenbach 3-0-0-7, Carson 0-0-0-0, Slutsky 3-1-1-8, Reid 3-0-0-7, Fairclough 1-0-0-2, Tiao 0-1-2-1, Rogers 2-0-0-4.
