In the third quarter, the two teams would trade baskets throughout, but Isabella Asencio scored eight of the Adelphi 18 points, giving the visitors a 34-33 lead heading into the fourth quarter. In the final quarter, the two teams exchanged the first few points, but with the Panthers leading 43-40, Callahan and Company went on a 16-2 run over the final 6:06, which included Marina Callahan pouring in 10 points, while Teagan Curran added five.
