Senior Erica Huber followed the Lewis three-pointer with one of her own to make it 13-5 before a mini-run by Cedarville made it a one possession game at 13-10 at the media timeout in the first. Back-to-back layups from junior Camryn Hill extended the Ursuline lead to 20-11 with under two minutes to play in the opening frame.
