The losing side was boosted by My'Shayla Clancy, who scored 22 points along with six rebounds and three steals. The match was her fifth in a row with at least ten points. Perla Reyes was another key contributor, scoring 18 points.

Linden bumped their record down to 2-2 with that loss, which was their third straight on the road dating back to last season. As for Kennedy, their loss dropped their record down to 1-4.
