Brockport would ride an excellent start to command control in the contest, overcoming an early 5-0 deficit. Across the final 7:32 of the first quarter, the Golden Eagles would soar to a 22-6 scoring run to take a 11 point lead into the second. Casey Mahony and Mandy Brink would each connect from beyond the arc in the quarter.

The Golden Eagle defense would take over the contest in the second quarter, holding the Wildcats to just four points on 11.7% shooting (2-17). Five points from Jackie Kozakiewicz and makes from Ava Howie, Addy VanDewater, Brink, and SJB would power the Brockport offense in the second. 

Entering the third quarter up by 23 points, the Golden Eagles would embark on their best offensive quarter of the season. Despite excellent shooting from deep for SUNY Poly in the quarter (5-10, 3PT), Brockport would drop 32 points on scorching 64.7% shooting from the floor (11-17).
