HOW IT HAPPENED
- The first quarter was the most-contested quarter of the game as both teams would trade points throughout the opening frame. Shorter and AUM traded the first four points of the game before Morales hit her first 3-pointer of the night to give the Orange & Black a 7-4 lead. Two minutes would transpire without a point from either side, but the scoreless drought was put to rest by five-straight points from Shorter to put the Hawks up by two. Two free throws from Morales and a jumper from Sarah Creanor tied the game at 11 with 97 seconds left in the first. A late 3-pointer from Brewster gave the Warhawks a 14-13 lead going into the second quarter.   
- The Orange & Black would start to distance themselves from Shorter in the second quarter. However, the Hawks were able to gain the first big advantage in the second, taking five of the first seven points to lead by two. Shorter's final basket of the first half was scored with five minutes remaining in the quarter to bring the AUM lead to 24-22. The Orange & Black received contributions from Lee, Morales and Bullard to finish the second quarter on a 10-0 run and took a 34-22 lead heading into the halftime break.  
- Shorter gained the first basket of the third quarter to end the AUM run and brought the game to 34-24. AUM responded immediately with an 8-0 run highlighted by 3-pointers from Brewster and Carter. Bullard joined in on the fun with a 3-pointer of her own with a triple to bring the score to 45-26 in favor of the Orange & Black. Shorter got on the scoreboard in the third period, but it was never enough to put a dent into the AUM lead. Taking the final four points of the third was not enough to get back into the game as the Warhawks led 63-36 going into the fourth.
