The Greyhounds then went on a 15-4 spurt to take command. Senior forward COREY DIETHORN (Pittsburgh, PA/Sewickley Academy) opened the string with a conventional three-point play on a reverse layin. A steal by senior forward/captain GREG TWOMEY (Groton, MA/Groton-Dunstable) led to a another Diethorn layin before the Hawks' forward Giovanni Carenza made two free throws to make it 37-34. Two free throws by junior guard/forward PATRICK SHEA (Salem, MA/Salem), a layin by freshman forward MIKE BALDARELLI (Sutton, MA/Holy Name) and two long three-pointers sandwiched around a jumper by the Hawks forward Branimir Zeko made it 47-36. A 10-5 spurt in the late in the period keyed by a pair of hoops and two steals by sophomore guard COURTLAND BLUFORD (Ft. Washington, MD/St. Vincent Pallotti) and three-pointers by Twomey and senior forward MIKE FOTI (Franklin, MA/Franklin) made it 67-52 with 4:58 left. Shea ended with a stat-filled nine points, eight rebounds and seven assists, while Twomey was the leading rebounds with 10 as the Greyhound enjoyed a substantial 55-36 advantage on the boards, including 16 on the offensive glass. Bluford (13 points, 4 assists), Diethorn (11 points, 9 rebounds) and Foti (11 points, 8 rebounds) all played well in support roles.

Plasski hit a wing jumper as the Hounds took the lead, senior forward MEGAN URBAN (Portland, ME/Deering) made a turnaround layin off a steal and feed from Floyd and Floyd converted a layup to make it 26-21. A layup, free throw, another layup, and a jumper by Parker and then a three pointer from the corner by freshman guard MOLLY GRIFFITHS (Walpole, MA/Ursuline Academy) and finally a steal and coast-to-coast layin and two free throws by Plasski made it 38-21 for the Hounds. Assumption led 43-28 at the half. Saint Anselm came out strong in the second half cutting the gap to five, 49 44, with a 16-6 mini-spurt.
