How It Happened
- The Lions scored the first two points of the game before a lay-up from senior guard Morgan Amy knotted the score at 2-2. TCNJ moved out to a 10-4 edge while the Blue and Grey countered with six straight points to tie the game again at 10-10 on a lay-up from junior forward Sam Osorio with just over three minutes left in the quarter. Osorio gave the Greyhounds a 14-13 advantage late in the quarter, but it would be the Lions that held a 15-14 lead after 10 minutes of action
- TCNJ pushed the edge out to five points at 19-14 before graduate student forward Tessa Zamolyi connected on a three-pointer for the Hounds. Moravian moved back in front 22-21 on a jumper from graduate student forward Kayla Yoegel, and Zamolyi had the Greyhounds up 24-31 with 4:10 until the intermission. Moravian would not score again in the first half while a late three-pointer sent the Lions to the locker room with a 26-24 lead
- Sophomore forward Brielle Guarente scored the first two baskets of the second half for Moravian as the Hounds moved ahead 28-26.

- TCNJ quickly pushed its edge back to 52-45 early in the fourth quarter, and the Lions had a 55-48 edge with 5:37 to go. Yoegel connected on three shots, and Osorio followed with a lay-up and a pair of free throws to put the Hounds ahead 58-57 with 2:11 to go. After a three-pointer from the Lions, Osorio knotted the game again at 60-60 at the 1:38 mark, and neither team was able to score again in regulation
