However, the Presidents put together an 11-0 run over the final 2:45 of the first quarter to build its lead. Back-to-back field goals by Dryburgh opened the run before Bezjak followed with a layup off an assist by Dryburgh. Skylar Bibbee (Fairfax, Va./Chantilly) accounted for the final five points of the run with a layup at the 1:01 mark and a three-point field goal with 23 seconds showing on the first quarter clock. 

W&J stretched its lead to 15 when a layup by Koeck gave the Red and Black a 32-17 lead at the 5:18 mark of the second quarter. The Presidents maintained a double-digit lead for the remainder of the half before Loutsion capped the second quarter scoring with a layup with just 12 seconds remaining. 

The Presidents quickly stretched the lead to 20 points when Berardelli made a layup tio make it 45-25 in the opening minute of the third quarter. The GT's cut the lead down to as few as 14 points but W&J responded with a three-pointer by Cherry and six straight points from Koeck late in the quarter to maintain its sizable advantage. 

W&J cleared the bench in the fourth quarter, which allowed Ally Fisher (New Kensington, Pa./Burrell) and Haven Briggs (McKeesport, Pa./Elizabeth Forward) to tally their first collegiate points.
