After the first quarter, the Mastodon defense started to wear on the Jaguars. The visitors led 23-22 midway into the second before the 'Dons clamped down and went on an 18-6 run over the final 5:30 of the half. In this stretch, the Jaguars coughed up four turnovers while the 'Dons went 7-of-9 from the floor, 3-for-4 from 3-point range and only had one turnover.

Lauren Ross hit two 3-pointers and made all three free throws after being fouled on another. Renna Schwieterman had six points with two buckets and two free throws and Sydney Freeman had a layup and a 3-pointer. The run extended out to the rest of the quarter, a 27-7 advantage for the home team. From there, the Mastodons built up the lead to as many as 33 at the 72-39 mark early in the fourth quarter.
Ross finished with a team-high 20. Jazzlyn Linbo finished with 16 and Schwieterman added 13 off the bench. Freeman had 12 points, five steals and four assists. Eleven of the 12 Mastodons that saw the floor scored.
