The Pride got the scoring started early in the first half when Stephanie Crawford (Rockland, Mass.) finished a crisp pass from Claire Ramonas (Portland, Maine.) to put the Pride up by eight.

The Hawks offense was led by Tatiana Mojica who netted nine points in the first period. Kristina Desnoyers helped set up the offense by tallying four assists. The Pride entered half time with a 16 point lead after Crawford hit a layup to make the score 43-27 in the final seconds of play.
The second half opened with the Pride hitting full stride. Ramonas increased her presence on the boards by completing two quick dishes from freshman Dana Sparks (Orlando, Fla.) to put the Pride up by as many as 12. The Pride's defense was helped out by Crawford who caused two turnovers and snatched up two steals. Crawford finished the day with 14 points and is currently two points away from hitting the 1,000 point mark in her career.
