Selimovic made a layup 14 seconds into the second quarter that pushed Fairfield's lead into double figures for good and Nicole Gallagher made another with 7:09 until halftime that capped a 10-0 run and made it 21-7. Jada Leonard responded with a 3-pointer almost 30 seconds later but Saint Peter's got no closer.
