• Rookie Anevay Rice blunted the host side's run; she snagged the rebound of a shot by sophomore Kaitlyn Morris and stuffed it home at the midpoint of the period for AIC's second tally.
• The Panthers put together another run to build their lead to 12-2 at 27:50, with the final goal of the run netted by Christina McCabe, and the home team took that advantage into the halftime break.
• Adelphi continued the run after the stoppage, getting ahead 16-2 at 13:25 of the middle frame before AIC called a timeout.
