On the next ODU possession, Wasilewski picked up an errant pass on the offensive restraining line, and the Cavaliers brought the ball upfield where Appelt fed a cutting Chasney on the fast break.

The Lady Monarchs won the draw and set up their attack, but Kendall McBrearty, who had come onto the pitch in relief of Miles, made the save and started the transition in which Megan O’Malley rolled the crease and scored at 29:11, giving the Cavaliers an 11-1 lead at the break.

Breslin scored again 1:19 after her third goal, to notch her career-high fourth goal in the game.
Wasilewski scrapped for control of the next draw and the Cavaliers settled the ball, working it around a couple times before Wasilewski fed Havrilla, who fired a rocket to the top of the cage for the Cavaliers’ 16th goal.
