At the half, the Lady Lions had the trio of Battle sisters in double figures scoring a combined 46 points. The Lady Lions were perfect from the charity stripe as they shot 5-5. As a team they had 14 assists and 25 rebounds. 

In the second half the Lady Lions continued to show their offensive prowess as they scored 22 points in the third quarter and 23 points in the fourth. However, their halftime adjustments were more focused on defense as they limited the Mariners to 32 points in the third and fourth quarter combined. Midway through the 4th quarter the FMU student body in attendance were ROARING "We want 100" referring to wanting the Lady Lions to score 100 points in this contest. The Lady Lions did just that, with less than 30 seconds to play the Lady Lions secured a defensive rebound which led to a fast break. As Nashley Zayas drove to the basket, she passed the ball to Shawnice King who scored the 22nd 3-pointer of the night and the 102nd point of the game. The FMU student body in attendance erupted with cheers and ROARS!
