CC was sharp in transition, clearing the ball at an efficient 23-for-26 clip, including a perfect 3-for-3 effort in the fourth quarter to maintain control late. Defensively, the Tigers limited DeSales to just 20-for-23 on clears.

The Tigers also forced 24 DeSales turnovers while committing just 16 of their own, creating a +8 turnover margin. CC added eight caused turnovers and held DeSales to just five goals over the final three quarters, including just one goal in the third, as the defense tightened its grip on the game.
