The Bears made only 6 of 18 shots in the first quarter and didn't score the game's first field goal until Gaucher made a layup 3:18 in for a 3-1 lead.

BSU was down, 8-7, before going on an 8-0 run that included a 3-pointer, foul shot and layup by Grassi and a layup by Gaucher for a 15-8 lead before the Lancers scored the last five points of the quarter.

The Bears were up, 19-15, with 7:09 to go in the half but went nearly two minutes before scoring again on a Grassi free throw for a 20-17 lead.

After the Lancers took the lead, Emily Quinn (Lancaster, Mass.) made a layup to give BSU a 22-21 advantage and Bradbury and Grassi followed with 3-pointers for a 28-21 lead.

After being up by seven at the break, a Grassi layup in the opening minute of the third quarter made it 34-25 and three foul shots by Bradbury pushed the lead into double figures at 39-27.

The Bears opened their largest lead to that point at 57-44 1:21 into the final quarter on 3-pointers by Grassi and Gaucher, and Cleveland followed with a foul shot for a 58-44 advantage.

Hurynowicz got the Lancers within 58-51 with 4:55 left by hitting a pair of foul shots but that is as close as they would get.

A 3-pointer by Bradbury put BSU up, 61-51, a steal and layup by Grassi made it 63-52 and a 3-pointer by Grassi sealed it at 66-55.
