HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Widener came out strong on both ends of the floor, building an early cushion behind efficient scoring from Avalynn Baer and Lindsay Kutz.

  • York responded with a big second-quarter push, outscoring the Pride 22-12 to take a narrow one-point lead into halftime. Widener's offense cooled during the stretch, but Giada Palmieri had a solid half which helped keep the Pride from falling to far behind. The Pride would trail by one heading into halftime.
 
  • The Pride struggled early in the third quarter, as York gained a nine-point advantage. But the Pride were unfazed as Stackhouse connected on two free throws and Metrick hit a three to bring them back within striking distance. The third quarter would end with the Pride only trailing by two.
 
  • Widener delivered the decisive run in the fourth, outscoring York 15-7 to close the game. Kutz scored the go-ahead bucket with just under nine minutes to play and the Pride never looked back. Kutz and Baer added on to the Widener lead helping the Pride secure a 65-59 win.
