The Dolphins got in front by double-figures on a Brittany Lee (Newton, N.J.) triple and closed the spurt with a pair of Montague free-throws at the 11:08 mark. The Dolphins forced Yeshiva into 10 turnovers over the run and held the Maccabees to 1-for-5 shooting.

The Mount dominated inside in the opening 20 minutes, outscoring Yeshiva 32-14 in the paint. The Dolphins also held an 11-0 edge in second chance points and a 24-4 advantage in points off turnovers. Montague led three Mount Saint Vincent players in double-figures at the half with 14 points.
 
The visitors would get to within 13 points early in the second half on a Julia Owen jumper, but the Dolphins quickly spread its lead back out to 24 points after a 13-2 run over a 3:06 span. The Mount allowed just four Yeshiva shots over that stretch and went 6-for-8 from the floor to build the lead.
 
Sophomore Nicole Oliver (Carmel, N.Y.) gave the Dolphins a game-high 40 point lead on a lay-in with 6:34 left in the game and the Dolphins matched the advantage two more times over the remainder of regulation; once on a Desiree Rosa (Dumont, N.J.) bucket with 5:20 to play and once on a Rosa triple with 2:29 left to play.

Montague finished the contest 10-for-21 from the floor as she scored better than 20 points in a game for the first time in her career. She added three assists and three steals for the Mount in the win. Brooke West (Hamilton, N.J.) also notched a career-high with 16 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the floor and a 6-for-8 effort from the free-throw line. She swiped three steals for the Mount.
