Cabrini twice led by as much as three points in the first half behind 3-point field goals from Brady. However, junior forward Kaity Snyder's lay-in at the 10:56 mark of the opening 20 minutes handed the Blue Jays a 16-14 advantage and a lead the hosts would never relinquish.

The Blue & White cut its deficit to 10 points, 43-33, with 9:06 remaining after a lay-in from Hinkelmon, but would climb no closer.
Snyder and senior guard Courtney Kofeldt each scored 11 points in the victory for the Blue Jays. Sophomore forward Stephanie Ellwood tallied eight points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Defensively, the Cavaliers forced Elizabethtown into 26 turnovers. Through six games this season, the Blue & White has caused its opponents to commit 21.3 miscues per game. The Cavaliers swiped a season-high 18 steals versus the Blue Jays.
