Johnson led the way for Brockport scoring four points, and pulling down four rebounds, while LeBaron and Pratt each chipped in with three points. 

The Golden Eagles cut the deficit to 15 points early in the third quarter, when Johnson made back-to-back layup's, and Schyler Laux knocked down a jumper just inside the three point arc. Brianna Neeley completed a three-point play with under a minute left in the frame, making the score 51-32.  

Welch opened up the final period connecting on a three-point basket, cutting the Golden Eagle deficit to 54-36.
