With minutes to play in a first half that saw Syracuse shoot 9% from 3-point range, ESPN analyst Debbie Antonelli pointed out that the Orange had missed 20 shots yet recorded only five offensive rebounds.
On the ensuing trip down the floor for the Seminoles, River Baldwin maneuvered around Emily Engstler, tipped the ball over the head of Taleah Washington and laid it in with ease on the left block. The Orange pushed right back down the court, earning Faith Blackstone two chances at the free-throw line. Her first rimmed out, and her second clanged off the rim into the waiting arms of Baldwin, who set up the Seminoles for one more basket before halftime.
