The Panthers would score eight of the final 12 points by shooting 8-for-10 from the free throw line to earn the victory and finished the game shooting 81 percent from the foul line. Anderson scored all 10 of her points in the second period.

The Golden Grizzlies trailed 30-28 at the half as Apsey tallied 10 of her 19 points in the opening period. Oakland fell behind by seven points before going on a 7-2 run led by an Apsey 3-pointer to close the half. The Golden Grizzlies defense held UWM to 0-for-12 from behind the arc in the first 20 minutes.

UWM was led by Ashley Green with 31 points and 10 rebounds, the most points allowed to a single player this season, while Jaleesa Armstrong and Kelsey Cunningham each added 10 points.
