Christina Barone (Staten Island, N.Y.) led the Mount in the first 20 minutes with nine points and four assists.
 
The Mount came out of halftime and scored the first nine points of the second period to push its lead to 20 on a Carroll jumper with just under 18 minutes left in regulation time. The lead would balloon to a game-high 25 points twice in the final three minutes and the Dolphins never allowed the Panthers closer than 17 points over the last 14:43 of regulation.
