The Lightning would extend their lead back to seven points at 1:52 on a three pointer from Lexi Bruno - who finished with 28 points - but Black responded with a three-pointer of her own on the next possession for the Eagles. Goldey-Beacom went into the fourth up 43-37.

Goldey (5-12, 5-3 CACC) again would extend its lead to six points at the 6:32 mark, but a three-pointer and a layup from Kingwood made it a 50-49 game with 5:39 left. After an 8-2 run by the Lightning made it a 58-51 game, Sims made back to back layups to cut the deficit to three points again at 2:06. However, that would be the closest the Eagles would get the rest of the way.
