SWOSU was held to 37% (26-of-70) shooting from the field and connected on 7-of-21 three point attempts in the effort while the Lions connected on 55% (35-of-64) of their field goal attempts. MSSU also outrebounded the Lady Dawgs by 10 (48-38) and pulled out the victory despite 27 turnovers. The potent offense of SWOSU was limited as the Bulldogs only had four assists on 26 made baskets.

Chelsea Bates also reached double figures by scoring 13.
