Despite 15 first-half turnovers, Nazareth was able to forge ahead thanks to the outside shooting of Wolfe, who scored 13 of her points with three three-point baskets as Nazareth led 34-22 through 20 minutes. The Golden Flyers led by as many as 17 points in the first half with as little as 1:30 to play following a three-pointer from freshman Madilann Johnson, but the Gators scored the last five points of the half to close the gap.
