For the remaining 15 minutes the Gulls held the Crusaders to just 3 field goals, while improving their own field goal shooting to 43%. Led by Aubrey Drugan (12 points, 5 assists), Holly Beth Wojcik (9 points, 6 rebounds) and Carly Haynes (8 points, 5 rebounds), all Endicott players saw time and contributed to the win.
