Junior forward Nicole Riddick (Albany, N.Y./Colonie/UMass Lowell) recorded seven of her 10 points in the opening half, while grabbing six rebounds.

Morgan Sullivan was Saint Rose's leading scorer with eight points, six of which came from the foul line in the second half. Karissa Birthwright led all players with 10 rebounds.

After Stacy Barrett started the game's scoring with a jumper to give Saint Rose its only lead of the game, freshman guard McKayla Roberts (North Syracuse, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse) recorded a four-point play to give the Dolphins the lead, which they would not relinquish. The Dolphins extended the run to 18 points to open up a 16-point lead with 5:27 left in the quarter. Riddick tallied the final five points after three points each from junior guard Ellie Leszyk (Horseheads, N.Y./Horseheads), Demand and junior forward Joanna Dobrovosky (Skaneateles, N.Y./Skaneateles).

Following a 6-3 spurt by Saint Rose, with four of the points coming from Ashley Vanderwall, junior forward Courtney Webster (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks East) made a lay-up and Demand registered a conventional three-point play for a 26-8 lead with 56 seconds left.

Cameron Graupman closed out the quarter's scoring with a three-pointer to pull Saint Rose within 26-11.

The Dolphins outscored the Golden Knights, 20-7, in the second quarter to take a 46-18 lead into halftime. Poitevien scored six of the points, while Demand, Leszyk and freshman guard Liz Millea (Cooperstown, N.Y./Cooperstown) each nailed three-pointers in the period.

After the teams split the first 16 points of the third quarter, the Dolphins tallied nine of the last 11 points of the quarter to take a 63-28 lead into the final quarter. Poitevien registered four of the nine points in the span, which was capped by two free throws by Leszyk with 0.3 seconds left in the period.

The Dolphins scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter to extend their lead to 42 for the first time. Millea made a three-pointer and then Poitevien had consecutive lay-ups.

After going scoreless for the first five and one-half minutes of the quarter, Saint Rose scored eight of the next 12 points to get within 38. Sullivan had four of the points, all from the foul line.

The Dolphins answered with six straight points for their largest lead of the game with 1:04 left.
