The win marks the 200th Northeast-10 Conference victory for Assumption College head coach Kerry Phayre.

Saint Anselm jumped out to a quick 11-6 lead over the opening 4:12, capped by a pair of free throws from Krista O'Gara. Assumption quickly took control though with a 14-3 run over the next six minutes to seize a 20-14 lead just past the midway point of the period. The Hawks cut the lead back down to one with 6:36 before a 12-0 Assumption run to end the half sent the game into the break at 34-21 in favor of the Hounds.

In the second, Assumption led by as many as 22 points before coming away with the 13-point victory. The Hounds held Saint Anselm to 34.9 percent shooting from the field and forced 23 turnovers in the win.
