How It Happened
 
* Holy Family opened the game on a 12-0 run with sophomore Elizabeth Radley (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace Prep) bookending the rally with a pair of three-pointers over the first 3:25 minutes of the quarter.  However, Caldwell responded by outscoring the Tigers 30-15 over the rest of the first quarter and through halftime to lead 30-27 at the half.
 
* In the third quarter the Tigers tied the game on three separate occasions but were unable to regain the lead.  Holy Family tied the game at 42-42 with 2:27 to play in the quarter on a Radley jumper.  On the following possession the Cougars managed three offensive boards that led to a basket by Kristen Drogsler.  Caldwell would go on to score the final six points of the quarter to lead 48-42. 
 
* Caldwell grabbed its biggest lead of the game in the fourth as the Cougars led by eight on multiple occasions with the latter coming at 54-46 with 7:12 to play.  Holy Family used a 9-2 run to come within one point of the lead after a three-pointer by Casey Schweitzer (Lagrangeville, N.Y./Arlington) made the score 56-55 with four minutes left on the clock.  Two possessions later the Cougars made it a three-point game before the Tigers cut it down to one at the 2:32 mark.  That would be as close as the Tigers would get as Caldwell closed out the final two minutes with a 7-2 run.
