A slow start by the Lady Chargers in the third quarter led to the Knights jumping out to a ten-point lead before Dominican called time out to try and settle things down. The Lady Chargers climbed their way back into it cutting the deficit to one point before the end of the quarter, but the Knights answered again to extend their lead back to seven to end the quarter.

The Knights started the final quarter off strong by extending their lead even further to their largest lead of the game which was eleven by a score of 56-45. Dominican again was able to answer to cut back into the Knights lead. The game was back down to a three-point difference until the Knights answered one last time to secure the win by the final of 64-58. The Lady Chargers were able to hang around and put pressure on the Knights but were never able to get over that hump and take control of the game.
