HOW IT HAPPENED
After Dorothy Loffredo and Audrey Kehoe registered early layups to tie the game at four, Arcadia held Stevens scoreless over the final 6:49 of the opening quarter, closing the frame on a 20-0 run. Schubiger snapped the drought with consecutive baskets to begin the second quarter, but the Knights responded with 15 straight points over the next four minutes. Stevens ended the half with the final four points, as Katherine Bogutsky converted a pair of free throws and Leyla Castro added a layup.
 
Bogutsky opened the third quarter with a three-pointer and added a free throw at the 6:07 mark to cap a 10-3 run. The teams traded baskets down the stretch before the sophomore closed the period with another triple off an assist from Schubiger.
