They were unable to take advantage of the 5-minute drought however, as they were only able to score 4 points of their own. After Behrend scored, the Mounties were able to use two consecutive jumpers from Hannah Kitko (Houtzdale, PA/Moshannon Valley) to push the Mountie lead to 8. The Mounties followed this up with a 4 minute scoreless streak of their own, which allowed Behrend to tie the game at 11 after 1 quarter. The second period saw the Mounties fall behind, however a 5-0 run over the last 4:50 of the half gave the Mounties a 1 point lead at the break. The run was capped off with a Breana Kendrick (Broad Top City, PA/Tussey Mountain) jumper in the paint with 37 seconds to go.

The third quarter was back and forth between the two squads as the lead changed 6 times. The Mounties used some timely baskets to continue to swap leads including two threes from Lea Sammarco (Patton, PA/Bishop Carroll) and one by Kendrick. Penn State Behrend came out firing in the 4th, starting the period on a 9-1 run. Rachel Robinson (Leola, PA/Conestoga Valley) did her best to stem the tide with a basket inside followed by a three from the corner, however the Mounties were unable to complete the comeback.

The Mounties were led by Kendrick and Robinson who finished with 15 points a piece. Kendrick hauled in 8 rebounds including three on the offensive end. Machala Gibbons (Cairnbrook, Pa/Bishop McCort) chipped in on both ends as she dished out 8 assists and also had 8 steals.
