The Fords (3-3, 1-2) cut the lead to seven with 16:28 left in the second half, but the Shorewomen ran off the next nine points, capped off by a put-back by junior guard/forward Sally O'Donnell (Cape May Court House, NJ/Wildwood Catholic) to stretch the lead to 46-30 with 14:27 remaining in the game. Washington led by double figures the rest of the way.
