Trailing by as many as eight points in the first half, the Lady Lions still shot 50 percent from the field and finished off the first quarter with a 19-12 lead. The hot shooting continued in the second quarter, as the Lady Lions extended their lead to double digits at the 33-22 mark entering the break. 

The second half was much of the same, as the Lady Lions finished the game on a 49-21 run to pick up the 82-53 victory. The Lady Lions shot 45 percent from the field and 38 percent from behind the arc in the victory.
