Collier made her first seven shots but cooled off in the second half to finish 9-20 from the field. Lasker was 4-8 from the field, but an impressive 4-5 from beyond the 3-point arc after halftime. Little Rock shot 24-54 from the field (44%) while Coastal finished at 20-48 shooting (42%). The rebounds were just about even, with Coastal getting 31 rebounds against 30 for Little Rock.

Collier carried the Trojans from the start as she had 13 points in the first period to help Little Rock to a 20-13 lead. Neither team did much in the second period, but Coastal pulled to within four, 26-22, on Hamilton's layup before going scoreless for the last 4:25 and trailing 30-22 at the break. Collier already had 17 points at the half on 8-13 shooting while the rest of her team was just 5-16. Hamilton led the Chanticleers with 6 points and 9 rebounds in the first 20 minutes.
