Courtney Coryea scored 11 points and pulled down a career-high 15 rebounds. Senior Kim Wagoner netted 11 points and picked up three steals for the Dolphins.

St Michael’s would stretch the lead to 11 six minutes onto the second period on a lay-up by Lyndsey Moore. A Precious three-pointer and strong rebounding by Coryea and freshman Brandy Wangelin would pull Le Moyne to within three points at 48-45.
