The sophomore had all nine of her points in the second quarter alone, including an emphatic three-point play with Post trailing by four, making it a 20-19 game on her solo 5-0 run midway through that frame.

The Eagles trailed after the first quarter by six points, 16-10, as an early three-point lead, 10-7, with 5:00 to go, turned into a 9-0 run by Goldey-Beacom, capped off by a three from senior guard Rory Ciskowski. The next time Post would jump back in front came after Day-Cox's layup with 4:28 remaining in the half, which began an 8-0 run to end the half for the Eagles, as sophomore guard Kamryn Porter scored four consecutive points and sophomore forward McKensi Forde capped things off with a layup.

Forde finished the first half with six points, going a perfect 3-for-3 from the field, while Porter had all four of her points from the free throw line. The Eagles shot 10-for-26 (38.8%) from the floor, but missed all six of their three-point attempts.
