Caitlin Hall finished the night with another one of her typical games finishing with eight points and a game-high six assists in 24 minutes. Courtney Pritchett continued her stat stuffing ways with five points, five rebounds, four assists, and a blocked shot.
 
The bench combined to score 26 points led by six from Madison Sheppard along with five apiece from Faith Lake and Shyla Calbert, a pair of four-point games from Sammy Rogers and Lashaya Carman, then two points and three rebounds from Ashlee McGeorge.
 
West Virginia Tech hit the first basket of the game then a Hall three pointer gave the Lady Tigers a 3-2 lead as they never looked back as that was the only lead change of the game. The Golden Bears were led by an 18-point, 15-rebound double-double from forward Laura Requena as she finished with nine offensive rebounds.
