While the two teams combined for 56 points in the first three quarters, they scored 38 in the fourth quarter alone, but the Dogs outscored the Crusaders 20-18 and won by ten.

The Bulldogs shot only 17 of 54 from the floor and committed 21 turnovers, but they outrebounded the Crusaders 47-35 and they held the Crusaders to 14 field goals, though five were three-pointers.

Both teams faced foul trouble. Three starters fouled out for Cathedral, while three starters for the Bulldogs had four fouls but did not foul out.

Only four players scored for Cathedral and three of them fouled out of the game.

Senior Amanda Glenz scored 18 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and blocked three shots for the Dogs.
