HOW IT HAPPENED
A 17-3 Owl run in the middle of the second quarter started by a Chelsea Mousette jumper and bookended by a Lucy Barrett fast break layup, erased a one-point deficit and staked Westfield a 44-31 advantage, a lead they would retain till the final buzzer.
Albertus was able to shrink the margin to three towards the end of the third quarter, 70-67, on a Shyla Osmond (New Haven, Conn.) jumper, but back- to- back threes by Taina Slaughter and Moussette provided all the cushion the Owls would need to ride out the victory.
