Saint Vincent's advantage stretched to 13 points after Klimchock scored, was fouled, and hit the ensuing free throw to make the score 39-26 in favor of Saint Vincent with four minutes left until the intermission.  Ursuline ended the half on an 8-2 run to cut the halftime deficit to seven, at 41-34.

Ursuline seized the momentum after the break, going on a 13-4 run to begin play, regaining the lead at 47-45.  A basket from SVC's Lauren Reilly tied it back up at 51 with 13 minutes to go, but the Arrows then scored eight straight points to take a 59-51 lead with 10 minutes left in regulation.
