The first half featured five ties and seven lead changes with Bowie State’s largest lead (15-12) coming at the 15:38 mark on a jumper by Castle. A Clyde jumper with 12:34 left in the opening period created the games’ final tie at 23. From that point, the Lady Pioneers slowly inched away to take its first double-digit lead of the non-conference contest at 35-25 following a jumper by Tasia Bistow.

Glenville State outscored Bowie State 24-10 over the first five minutes of the second half to create a very comfortable 82-59 cushion. The Lady Bulldogs scored just 10 points over the next 5:06, sending the BSU starters to the bench for the remainder of the game.
