Stout led for the majority of the first half, by as much as 10 points during one spell, but the Pioneers (8-14, 4-9) fought back to take a 41-39 halftime lead. The game remained tight throughout the second half with Platteville taking as much as a five point lead midway through the period.

Stout took the lead with the help of a couple of veterans. Kayla Windt (Jr, Pence) drained a pair of free throws, and Whitney Rawdon (Jr, Eau Claire) hit a bucket, nabbed a steal, then made the ensuing lay-up to give Stout a 59-58 lead at 8:52 and Stout never trailed the rest of the way.

Rawdon finished with nine points and Windt had five steals.

The Pioneers got 15 points from Kim Wellnitz and 13 points from Claire Poad and Liz Lawinger.
