Down 19-8, Wesleyan's Catherine Bandak and Brooke Richard each made jumpers as the Lady Bobcats closed the gap to 19-12 heading into the second quarter.

Urbana scored the first basket of the second quarter for a nine-point lead, but Cunningham hit a 10-footer and Rachel Vandertoolen scored from the paint to bring Wesleyan to within five with two minutes gone.

Wesleyan could never get any closer than five points in the second quarter as Urbana outscored them by a 24-16 margin the rest of the half to take a 45-32 lead into the intermission.

Urbana built their biggest lead of the game, at 22 points, at the 4:47 mark of the third quarter as they were up by a 58-36 score.

A Browne three-pointer shrunk the lead to 12, at 65-53, with two minutes gone in the quarter, but Urbana ran off the next seven points to take a 72-53 advantage.

Wesleyan outscored Urbana in the final five minutes of the game by a 16-9 margin, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Urbana lead.
