The Highlanders had a four-point advantage (12-8) at the 5:50 mark when the Mighty Macs got the hot hand. Fueled by four points from Walsh and five from McBride, Immaculata went on a 9-0 run that allowed the Mighty Macs to take a 17-12 lead. Immaculata would end the first period with a five-point edge (21-16), and never relinquished its lead the rest of the way.
 
The Highlanders scored the first basket of the second period to cut the Mighty Macs' lead to three (21-18), and that would be as close as Cairn came for the remainder of the contest. Immaculata built its lead to nine points three different times in the second period, and took a nine-point advantage into halftime, 37-28.
