NDSU held an early 4-2 lead on back-to-back layups by Emily Dietz, but the Wildcats answered with an 8-0 run in a 2:13 span to take a 10-4 lead with 4:52 to play in the opening quarter. The Bison responded with a 10-0 run over a 3:59 span, taking a 14-10 lead on a layup by Danneka Voegeli with 8:17 left in the second quarter.

New Hampshire took a 27-23 lead to the locker rooms at halftime.
Neither team hit a 3-pointer in the first half, but that quickly changed in the second half as Michelle Gaislerova went on a 9-4 run of her own to start the second half with three 3-pointers to give the Bison a 32-31 lead with 5:51 left in the quarter. The Wildcats responded with six-straight points, but the Bison scored eight of the final 12 points of the quarter in a 3:35 span. The Wildcats led 41-40 going into the fourth quarter.
