The Maccabees fell behind, by a score of 19-8, early in the game. However, a 6-1 run by the Macs narrowed their deficit to 20-14 at the end of the opening quarter. Junior guard Penny Rabin hit a jumper to open the run, and senior forward Michal Alge capped it off with a layup and a successful jump shot.

Down by 12, Yeshiva went on another run in the second quarter, once again scoring six unanswered points, to narrow CSI's lead to 32-26 with 6:44 left to play in the half. Junior guard Nicole Bick scored all six points in YU's rally. From that point on, Staten Island completely took over the game, going on a 32-8 run in the final 6:14 of the half to take a commanding 64-32 lead into the intermission.

The Maccabees did outscore the Dolphins, 20-14, in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough as the Dolphins went on to earn the non-conference win.

For the game, Alge produced a double-double with 16 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Bick scored 15 points, while freshman guard Chana Boltax added 11 points.
