Salem struggled to find an offensive rhythm, but several players turned in gritty performances. Tanijya Shaw led the Mighty Oaks with 11 points, adding 9 rebounds and playing a team-high 37 minutes. Shaw attacked the basket consistently, going 5-for-8 from the free-throw line while also contributing defensively with two steals.
Paula Wilson provided a spark off the bench, scoring 5 points with 4 rebounds, a steal and a block in 27 minutes. Kasey Oliver made the most of her time on the floor, finishing with 5 points on 2-of-3 shooting.

In the paint, Jayda Hunter continued her strong rebounding presence, pulling down 8 boards to go with 3 points, while Justine Cardona added 4 points and 2 rebounds off the bench.
Despite the effort, UCNJ's depth and efficiency proved too much, allowing the Owls to stay undefeated and maintain control throughout the game.
