The Cyclones set the tone right off the bat, going up 8-0 to start thanks to threes from Denae Fritz and Ashley Joens followed by 2 points from Diew on separate trips to the free-throw line. Lexi Donarski took a pretty nasty shot to the face in the first, but she would return in the second quarter. Thanks to an offensive barrage of efficient shooting, the Cyclones would take a 22-11 lead into the break.

2nd Quarter

The second quarter featured only one shot from behind the arc falling for either team, with that shot falling from who else but Ashley Joens.
