First on the team in scoring against the Greyhounds was senior Jasmine Prophet with 20 total points, despite fouling out near the end of the fourth quarter. The senior was helped by a 6-6 showing at the charity stripe, but the success at the line did not translate to the rest of the team as the Belles missed 10 free throws.

The quarter was a back and forth battle, as both teams shot just over 30 percent, and a pair of ENMU free throws with one second left in the period would put them on top 14-13 at the first break.

Neither team could score early in the second quarter, but the  Greyhounds finally broke the stalemate three minutes in with a free throw. ASU tied the game backup with a pair of free throws from Madi Greenwood less than a minute later.

The back-and-forth battle continued in the third quarter, as neither team gained more than a six-point advantage, but the Belles finished the period with a 46-44 lead. ENMU continued to match ASU blow for blow in the final period of regulation, but junior Madi Greenwood found the bottom of the net on a three-pointer with 1:32 remaining to give the Belles a five-point advantage. The Greyhounds responded by knocking down three free throws, and with 16 seconds remaining got a clutch three-pointer from Brandi Gomez to tie the contest and send it to overtime.

A three-pointer from Dorsey gave Angelo State a two-point lead early in the overtime period, but ENMU responded with a 6-0 run that gave them a lead they would never relinquish, eventually winning the game by four.
