Whitworth actually got off to a quick start and led 7-0, but Chong hit three three-pointers in a row to put the Athenas ahead 9-7. Whitworth went back ahead 13-9, but CMS scored the next seven points to take the lead for good, with Laura Strenk knocking down a three-pointer to make it a 14-13 CMS lead and Wang following with two foul shots. 

The Athenas then had a 15-0 run spanning the first and second quarters to turn a 16-15 lead into a 31-15 advantage. CMS had the last seven points of the first to take a 23-15 lead, with Wang scoring in the paint, Hewitt knocking down a three-pointer, and Resendiz closing with a layup.

Wang then opened the second quarter with a layup, Ghai knocked down a three, and Wang followed with another three to stretch the lead to 16. Cate Shingler knocked down two foul shots to push it to a 20-point margin at 41-21, before the Athenas settled for a 48-32 lead at halftime.
