BSC capitalized on free throws in the first half sinking 15 of 18 attempts. BSC led by nine with 6:20 left in the third period, but eight straight points put Rhodes back in the game.

BSC tied the game 85-all with 2:11 left, but Rhodes finished the period on a 10-4 run to lead 95-89 headed into the final frame. 

BSC pulled within one three minutes into the fourth period, but seven straight points for the home squad put some breathing room between the teams once again. Rhodes led 105-99 when the Lynx scored 13 straight points, which included six free throws, on their way to a 22-2 run. Freshman A'niya Lagarde sank the record-breaking layup to give Rhodes 120 points with 2:35 remaining in the game. The final bucket of the night came on a putback from Lee with about 24 seconds remaining.
