"We have to come ready to play," Blum said. "That's the thing we've battled with all year. We have a lot of work to do."
After leading 40-36 at halftime, Goshen sparked a 13-2 run at the start of the second half and led my double figures the majority of the period. The Maple Leafs led by as many as 16 and Grace never got within eight points.
