CHAMBERSBURG — North Allegheny's undefeated run came to an end Monday night, as Central Bucks South upended the Tigers, 52-49, in the PIAA Class 6A girls basketball semifinals.

North Allegheny held an 18-14 lead at halftime but Central Bucks South used a 12-0 run to open the third quarter to grab a 26-18 lead. The Titans were sparked by junior guard Alexa Brodie, who netted a game-high 24 points, scoring 19 in the second half.

The Tigers stayed close with CB South in the second half and trailed by just three with three seconds remaining. However, North Allegheny's last-ditch chance to tie the game was thwarted on a steal by Brodie as time ran out.

North Allegheny was led by Radford commit Piper Morningstar, who finished with 13 points.

The WPIAL-champion Tigers conclude the season with a 28-1 record and a third straight appearance in the PIAA semifinals. CB South improved to 28-4 on the campaign and advanced to the PIAA championship game for the first time in program history, where it will face District 1 rival Upper Dublin at 6 p.m. Friday night at Giant Center in Hershey.
