UNOH was 19-72 from the field, with a large portion of the misses coming from behind the arc as the Lady Racers were 5-33 from three. The Racers were solid in one area as they made 27-36 of their free throws to carry them to the victory. Trinity Christian controlled the first half as they pulled forward to a 10 point lead with 5:20 left in the half, only to struggle to half with a 2 point lead. UNOH came out in the second half and reached their largest lead of the game at the 7:44 mark in the second half. The Lady Racers also struggled the rest of the half as Trinity Christian's Amanda Learned made both free throws under a minute to push it to overtime. In overtime, the Lady Racers never let Trinity Christian take the lead as UNOH pulled out a close one 70-66.

In the first 8 minutes of the contest, Huntington sprinted out to a 19-3 lead and never looked back. UNOH cut the halftime lead to 7, and even had the lead down to 4 with 12 minutes left in the game, but after a short timeout by Huntington, the Foresters went on a 19-2 run the next 7 minutes to put the game out of reach. Huntington was led by Jenna Donaldson with 24 points and Courtney Beerbower totaled 23 points.
