Keystone only had one field goal, a Tim Benedix three-pointer, during the last eight minutes of the first half as Immaculata was able to hold the lead at intermission.

Immaculata held a two-point halftime advantage, 31-29, largely due to its 10-for-11 effort from the free throw line during the first half.
