A Bossler triple at the 5:24 mark in the third period would stretch the Gwynedd lead to twenty (43-23). Roseman would give the Griffins their largest lead of the stanza (48-23) after she connected on a pair of free throws with just under four minutes remaining to cap the 15-2 run. After Sydney Thompson's layup for a 50-26 lead with 2:03 remaining, Centenary put a 10-2 run together to cut into the lead, but a Hoisington jumper with six seconds remaining kept Gwynedd ahead 52-36 heading into the final period.
