Kellie Messer (Hollis, N.H.) added ten points and seven boards while Carly Rogers (Scarborough, Maine) also finished with ten points and a team-high seven assists.

Messer gave the Leopards a quick lead off the bat with a jumper before Rathjens answered with a layup to even the game at 2-2. Camara answered with her first of three triples in the quarter as Wentworth took control with a 16-2 run over the next 8:25. The Leopards would not trail in the game.
