Salve Regina (3-5) trailed by eight (31-23) following a 3-pointer by Lia Krumian with 2:05 remaining in the second quarter before Marissa Forino (Watertown, Conn.) dropped a pair of free throws and Frankie Spadorcia (Braintree, Mass.) grabbed an offensive rebound and put back a layup with 20 seconds to go. The Seahawks enjoyed their largest margin in a quarter (18-10) right after intermission.
