Dibula contributed 13 points and five rebounds, and Kersaint added seven points in just under 20 minutes. Alexis Andrews also played a key role, finishing with seven points and a team-high six assists to help keep the offense flowing.

Northeastern responded in the third quarter, trimming the deficit with an 18–13 advantage in the period, but Monmouth maintained its composure and answered each run. The Hawks continued to attack the basket and control the glass, preventing the Huskies from closing the gap any further.
