Dave Schlabach and his Hiland Lady Hawks look for a new identity each season, something to set them apart from the previous team.

"We search for an identity with every team.  And for the rest of the year, we wanted our identity to be offensive rebounding; a team that just gets themselves second chances," Schlabach said.

Consider that goal checked off.

Hilary Weaver had 17 points in limited action last Thursday, Noelle Yoder watched from the bench, and No. 2 Hiland scored 33 points off 34 offensive rebounds as the Lady Hawks opened the second season in grand fashion, dumping Toronto 78-4 in the sectional semifinal at Claymont High.

Hiland - the second-ranked team in Division IV in the final Associated Press girls' basketball poll - improved to 19-2 overall and advanced to face Malvern (4-17) in the sectional final today at 6 pm at Claymont.

Against Toronto, offensive boarding wasn't the only thing on display.  Hiland seemingly did everything right.

Led by McKenzie Miller and Regan Miller with six steals apiece, Hiland fed its offense through its defense, scoring 49 points off 40 Toronto turnovers.

And while a staggering 25 of Toronto's turnovers came in the first half, Hiland's press held the Red Knights scoreless in the third and fourth quarters off 0 of 7 shooting.

Bench scoring was also on showcase.

Anchored by freshman Kendra Schlabach with 12 points and Regan Miller with six, Hiland had 23 points off the bench.

Spoiling the win for the Lady Hawks, though, was a left knee injury in the second quarter to 5-foot-8 forward Arrianna Schrock, who has been sensational as of late.  Immediate diagnosis was not available, but Schlabach said, "It looks like a fracture."

"My guess is there is major damage," he said.  "... It took the wind out of our sails a little when Arrianna got hurt."

Jessica Stutzman scored eight, and Hiland opened the first quarter on a 16-0 run.

A Mariah Turner bucket broke up the tear, but Hiland scored 22 straight points to take a 38-2 lead with 3:07 left in the first half.

McKenzie Miller had 11 points off a handful of easy steals in the second as the Lady Hawks outscored the Red Knights 30-2 to take a comfy 49-4 lead at intermission.

Hiland held a 29-0 scoring advantage in the second half.

The Lady Hawks were bailed out by their defense on numerous occasions and shot just 39 percent (30 of 76) from the floor and 30 percent from 3-point range.  Hiland made 57 percent (12 of 21) of their free throws.

Toronto's offense, however, was considerably worse, making only 11 percent (2 of 19) of its field goals

Kira Anderson had two points for Toronto (2-16) which didn't make a trip to the foul line.
