  • Following a jumper by Katie Healy that sliced John Jay's deficit in half, 6-3, York scored 11-unanswered points in the final 5:19 to take a commanding 17-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. 
  • John Jay opened the second stanza with a 12-3 run to pull within five (20-15) at the 5:16 mark.

  • The Bloodhounds held a slim 8-7 scoring edge in the final 3:32 to trail 27-23 at the break. 
  • John Jay scored five-straight points to open the half to take its first lead (28-27) of the game 51 seconds in. 
  • Playing with the lead for the opening 20:51 of play, York was unable to slow the Bloodhounds as John Jay continued a 12-5 spurt to go up by five (37-32) with 3:44 left in the period. 
  • Trailing 39-36 entering the fourth quarter, York fell behind after a slow start that allowed John Jay to build a 10-point cushion (48-38) with 5:41 showing on the clock.
