Taylor Double opened up the first quarter with a three to secure the Knights first lead of the game but the Tigers quickly followed up with a three to bring the game to a standstill. Abbey McNally's pair of layups and Kenna Kirby's singular layup helped Marian maintain their lead bringing the score 9-8 before Georgetown answered with free throws to take the lead into their own hands. McNally continued to fire for Marian with a layup to take back the lead with 5:29 remaining in the quarter. Kirby and Double each claimed a three-point jump shot to increase the margin by five. The Tigers fought back with a layup followed by a free throw off of a Marian foul to decrease the margin to two points with a minute and a half remaining. McNally was the last to fire in the quarter with a free throw to bring the score 18-15 in favor of the Knights. 

Double and McNally opened up the second quarter with a Taylor's three and Abbey's layup to increase the lead to eight.

Out of the timeout, the home team fired off a three but came up short with Double and Zoe Wheeler firing back with Taylor's layup and Zoe's jump shot to increase Marian's lead to double digits once more. With less than a minute left the Tigers fired a three-pointer bringing the score 36-29 going into the half.

Eva Fisher opened up the third quarter by attacking with free throws off of a Georgetown foul to increase Marian's lead to nine. The Tigers fired back with more effectiveness in the third quarter with five free throws and a pair of layups to bring the game to a tie for the first time since the first quarter at the 6:54 mark to draw a Marian timeout with the score set at 38-38.  Out of the timeout, Olivia Faust made a layup after rebounding off of her missed three but allowed the Tigers to shoot free throws off of a foul by Faust to once more tie the game.

Coming out of a 30-second Marian timeout, Georgetown fired with another layup but Emily Grim was able to attack with a layup with 1:14 left in the quarter.
