Essex would outscore the Cardinals 36-18 at the end of the first.

Held to just ten points in the second quarter, the Cardinals trailed 69-28 entering the half. Things wouldn't get easier in the second half, as Essex continued to pour on the points. 30 Cardinals turnovers contributed to an Essex 119-55 victory.

Cabbagestalk finished the contest with a double-double, scoring 20 points and ten rebounds. Sophomore guard Destiny Perry (Sparrows Point) added ten points, while freshman guard Ah'niya Tillery (Coppin) had ten points and six rebounds. Freshman forward Alfreda Potter (Carroll Christian) ended the season with a career-high 11 points.
