Holy Family used solid shooting, hitting over 46 percent of their shots in the first half, including 4-10 from behind the arc. The Lady Tigers went into halftime holding with a 16 point advantage. The second half saw a much more balanced level of play between the two teams as Wilmington was able to keep pace with Holy Family's tempo. The Lady Tigers kept the hot hand in, again shooting close to 43 percent from the floor and 3-6 from three point range. Holy Family used a 54-38 rebounding advantage as the Lady Tigers controlled the glass the entire game.
