Cabrini would give up the lead – briefly at 14-12 – before a short 4-0 run ended by a layup from freshman guard Emma Pyne gave the Cavs a 16-14 lead at the end of the first.

The Cavs would lead all of the second quarter, pulling away as Liebtag scored on a jumper with 1:22 left to give Cabrini a 29-23 lead.

Eastern would not get any closer than three the rest of the way, as Cabrini went up by as much as 17 before winning by 18 in the end.

This marked the third straight win over Eastern by Cabrini.
