Haines, Tijanae Simmons and Allen each hit a three during the opening 5:43 of the game. Post shot 52.6 percent from the field on 10-for-19 shooting in the first quarter and forced six Felician turnovers, leading to seven points.

Felician bounced back in the second quarter, trimming the Eagles lead, going on an 8-0 rnu to start the quarter before a three from Allen weathered the storm and made it a 28-21 game with 6:03 remaining. Felician got within two points at 29-27 after a layup and free throw by Brianna Lee at the 3:08 mark, but the Eagles were able to hang on to take a 37-33 into the half.

Post saw its lead disappear in the third quarter on four brief occasions, eventually trailing by three after a jumper by Felician's Uzor Uchidiuno to make it 46-43, but a three from Simmons on the ensuing possession for the Eagles tied the game back up. The three sparked a 10-0 run, capped by a three from Allen, making it a 53-46 game with 2:52 left in the quarter. Post took a 55-52 lead into the fourth.

Allen kicked off the fourth with a three to put Post up 58-52 as the Eagles were able to keep the Golden Falcons at arms length for most of the quarter. Felician crept back within two at 59-57, but the Eagles hit five of their six free throws to put the lead back up to 64-57 with 4:52 remaining. The Eagles shot just 2-for-11 from the field, but made 14 of 19 free throws in the final quarter to put the game away. The Eagles allowed just 4-for-15 shooting from the Golden Falcons.
