Early in the second quarter Johns Hopkins pushed the lead to 21-17 before a jumper from junior Jennah Roman made it 21-19. After a Blue Jays free throw, sophomore Madisyn Rosato tied the game with a corner three after receiving a perfect dish from Dowling.

Over the next five minutes, Johns Hopkins would go on a 15-0 run to push the score to 37-22 with 2:39 left in the quarter. The Devils cut the deficit to 13 at the half when Roman converted on a layup and drew the foul, completing the three point play with 23 seconds left in the half. Roman's eight points at the half led the Devils.

After trading baskets to begin the second half, a 4-0 run by the Devils cut the Johns Hopkins lead to single digits at 44-35. A Blue Jays three pushed the lead back to 12 but back-to-back baskets by junior Cayla Staggers made it a 47-39 game. Johns Hopkins responded with a 6-0 spurt to push it to 53-39 with 3:19 remaining in the third quarter.
