Holy Names tied the contest at 26-26 with 9:19 remaining in the first half, and the Cavaliers would not lead for the remainder of the contest.
Holy Names looked like it might pull away in the final nine minutes of the period, reaching a 10-point lead at 43-33 with 4:13 remaining in the half before the Cavs closed the half on a 17-8 run to pull within one at 51-50.
