The Pirates soon tied things up, however, and a triple from Cece Quintino opened up a 15-7 advantage midway through the first period. The runaway continued from there as VC led 23-8 at the end of the quarter. 

The Pirates continued to build their advantage throughout the second period, leading 38-17 at intermission.

Ventura expanded the advantage in the third quarter, outscoring the Condors 23-9 to hold a 61-26 lead at the quarter break, before settling in for the 70-38 final count.

Quintino finished with 13 points, five rebounds and four assists on the night while Madison Cvijanovich netted 10 points. Robin Prince was a beast on the boards pulling in 12 rebounds.
