Cherry continued to hit shots in the second with another three-pointer and a successful three-point play after getting fouled on a drive to the basket late in the quarter. McCarthy knocked down another three of her own, leaving the pair shooting a combined 4-for-5 from behind the arc heading into halftime.

Cherry led Curry with 12 points and six steals while Olivia Gourdine (Barnstable, Mass.) was another significant contributor with 12 points coming off the bench.
