  • With 4:57 to play in the second, a 3-pointer by Lee sparked a 15-2 stretch by the Cardinals as the first-year bookended the run with a pair of free throws with 51 seconds on the clock, giving the visitors a 34-18 lead.

  • At the 6:48 mark of the third quarter, Caleigh Ryan hit one from behind-the-arc to extend the lead to 20 as the Cardinals led 43-23.
