USMMA controlled the action early on the road, building a steady first-half advantage with strong defensive pressure and efficient scoring in the paint. Kings Point limited Sarah Lawrence's early offensive rhythm, turning stops into transition opportunities and gradually pushing the margin into double figures by halftime without allowing a sustained Gryphons run.
The Mariners opened the second half with another strong stretch, extending the lead through consistent execution on both ends and continuing to win the rebounding battle. Sarah Lawrence showed some push midway through the half, but USMMA answered each response with timely baskets and defensive stops to maintain control and keep the cushion intact.
In the final quarter, KP remained composed, closing out the game by protecting the ball and finishing possessions inside. Sarah Lawrence never closed the gap to a serious threat, and USMMA sealed the 20-point road win by controlling the paint and managing the closing minutes efficiently.
