They Devils forced the Camels to go 0-for-5 from both the field and the charity strip before the Camels made a free throw to end the drought. However the Devils themselves only shot 1-for-7 during this span but sank five free throws to give them a 27-22 lead before the Connecticut College free throw.

The Camels were able to retake the lead with 47 seconds let in the half at 33-32. A layup extend their lead to three before junior Jennah Roman drilled a buzzer-beater three to tie the score at 35 at half. 
 
After trading baskets to start the third quarter, the Camels went on a 10-0 which lasted over six minutes in the third stanza. A basket by freshman Helen Ishmael with two minutes left in the quarter ended the run but the Camels closed out the period on a 7-0 run to make it a 54-39 ball game. 
 
The Devils were able to cut the deficit to 10 with 3:24 left in the game following a Roman jumper. The jumper capped off a 6-0 Devils run.
