Annie McMahon\'s lay up three minutes into the game gave Albright a 5-4 lead, and the Lady Lions would never trail again. Albright played stifling defense in the half, limiting Lehman to just 4-27 shooting from the floor. In the meantime, the Lady Lions began to pull away, and led by 18, 25-7, after Mallory Olsheski\'s fast break lay up with nine minutes remaining in the half. Lehman cut the lead back down to 10 late in the half, but Charlotte Ciccone\'s jumper a minute before the break gave Albright a 27-15 halftime lead.
Albright got back-to-back baskets from Hardwick and a lay up from Jen DuPrau to open the second half and quickly push the lead back to 18, 33-15. Lehman never threatened the rest of the way, as Albright maintained a double-digit lead throughout the final 20 minutes. The Lady Lions put the game away at the free throw line, converting 19 of 23 attempts in the second half to keep Lehman at a safe distance.
McMahon led all scorers in the game with 21 points, including connecting on 3-6 three point shots and 8-8 free throws. Hardwick added 17 points for the Lady Lions, who also got nine points and a game-high 13 rebounds from DuPrau. Natalie Bizzarro handed out five assists in the game, while McMahon and Ciccone had three assists a piece. Sally Nnamani led Lehman with 19 points.
