YSU held a 23-19 lead 11 minutes into the game, but Canisius scored 13 straight points and led by double digits for the final 17:30 of the contest.

Ellie Radke scored a game-high 19 points for Canisius in 28 minutes, and Tasia Lee scored 12 points in 20 minutes. They, along with five other Canisius players, shot better than 50 percent from the field.

The Golden Griffins improved to 1-2 while the Penguins dropped to 0-4.

After Canisius scored the first bucket of the second half to go up 42-28, YSU scored the next five points on a 3-pointer by Bojana Dimitrov and a Jenkins jumper to make the score 42-33. Micayla Drysdale two hit 3-pointers in just over a minute, and Canisius went on to make four more treys in the half.

Jenkins hit a jumper to make the score 54-39 with 12:22 remaining, but by the next time the Penguins found the bottom of the next they were down 66-39. Tasia Lee's bucket sparked a stretch in which Canisius made five straight shots, two of which were 3-pointers by Ashley Durham, and took a 27-point lead.

Canisius outscored YSU 22-14 in the paint, which included a 20-6 edge in the first half.

The first half had three ties and five lead changes in the first 16 minutes, leading up to Canisius' 13-point run.

The Golden Griffins led 13-6 on a Radke jumper at the 15:38 mark, but YSU went on a 9-2 run to take a 23-19 lead on a Macey Nortey jumper with 9:11 remaining. YSU had made seven of its last 10 shots and were 8-for-15 from the floor at that point. YSU, over the next nearly seven minutes, missed five field goals and two free throws and committed six turnovers before it scored again on Middlebrooks' jumper with 2:21 on the clock.

Following Nortey's bucket, Allison Braun hit a jumper on Canisius' next possession, and two of Radke's 15 first-half points knotted the score at 23-23 with 7:48 remaining. A Stephanie MacDonald jumper with 2:38 remaining gave the Golden Griffins a nine-point advantage before Middlebrooks' jumper ended the drought.
