The Huskies held a 10-3 advantage late in the first quarter, but the Cardinals made it a way one-point game with a six point run. The Huskies claimed a five-point run that ended with a Cardinal three. Taylor matched the shot the very next play to end the first, 17-12.

Daub opened the Huskies' scoring with a three-pointer. Sophomore guard Shannon Jones followed with a jumper to extend the lead by eight points. Olivia Noah put up the Cardinals next eight points, including two shots from the 3-point range, putting them within one. A Carr jumper broke her streak, but another Cardinal hit a jumper. A jumper by junior center Kennedy Collins and back-to-back buckets by Calver sent the teams into the second half, 26-33.

The Huskies led for as many as 12 points late in the third quarter, after buckets by Johnson, Calver and Carr. Liz Holter hit a three for the Cardinals, but once again Daub matched the effort with a three of her own and was immediately followed with a three from Johnson. HBU ended the third with its largest lead of 15 points.

The Cardinals went on a seven run to open the fourth that was broken up by a layup from Calver.  HBU and UIW went shot-for-shot the next 14 points, until three Cardinal fouls sent the Huskies to line for five points to capture the win, 67-56.
