RADNOR, Pa. - The Rosemont College women's basketball team took an 8-0 lead over the host Cabrini Cavaliers with 1:15 into the game, and the Ravens would extend their lead to 18-8 before the Cavaliers mounted a comeback to get to within one point at halftime.

The Cavaliers improved to 8-13 (6-6 CSAC) with the victory.

Rosemont still seemed to have control of the game after 16 minutes were played, but the Cabrini defense stopped the Ravens' scoring from the field for the last four minutes of the first half and the first 1:25 of the second. The second half opened with a Cavalier field goal, providing the home side with their first lead of the night, 27-26. Over the next eight minutes the Ravens would be outscored 18-4 to take a 15-point lead from which the Ravens would not manage a comeback.
