Kyleesha Weston drained a 3 to get the lead back, but Baker made 4 unanswered free throws to take a 2-point lead. After an Ashli Lykins steal, Megan Balcom was fouled and hit 2 free throws to tie it with 2 minutes to go. Neither team scored in the next few possessions. Then after a timeout, Jasmine Webb made a layup with 21 seconds to go. Baker missed a 3 with 10 seconds left, and Balcom was fouled and split the the free throws.
