Neumann would finish the final seven minutes of the half on a 15-5 run to go into the locker room up 40-20.
The second half featured team runs as Neumann had to work hard to stay perfect. Cabrini started the second half with a 9-4 run to cut into Neumann's lead. The Knights responded with a 13-1 run over the next three and a half minutes to jump out to a 27 point lead, 57-30. However, Cabrini would not go quietly and netted the next eight points. The Cavaliers run was stopped by a lay-up by Young, followed by four points by Cecily Scavicchio.
