The game would be played evenly through the first eight minutes as the game was tied at 13-13 after one quarter.
The two teams kept battling back and forth through much of the second until a Brockway run late in the quarter put the Lady Rovers ahead 28-20 by halftime.
Brockway then extended their lead to 42-28 after three quarters with a 14-8 scoring advantage for the quarter.
C-L, which ended their season with a 7-12 record, claimed the fourth quarter 16-15 to set the final score. Frances Milliron led the Lady Lions with 23 points, including going 5-of-7 from the free-throw line.
Janelle Pezzuti chipped in with five points, including one of two three-pointers made by C-L.
The free-throw line would be a problem which seemed to be the case for much of the season as C-L made just 12-of-22 shots from the line.
Danielle Wood paced Brockway with 24 points, including going 10-of-14 from the free-throw line. Selena Buttery finished with 14 points, and Ciara Morelli added nine points.
Brockway will move on to face Keystone on Friday for the District 9 Class AA title at Keystone.
