Carlow jumped out to a 23-15 lead after one quarter and led 42-33 at the half. The Celtics outscored the Pioneers 11 to 4 in the 3rd to add to their lead. They led by as many 20 before Alfred State made a comeback and cut it to 10 in the 4th. Carlow was able to answer back and close out the contest.

Bialecki led all scorers with 30 points with 11 rebounds. Kelly Kane (Wellsville) and Minnie Robinson (Washington DC) both finished with five. The Lady Pioneers shot 32.8% from the field on the night.
