Alyssa Ramlochan started with a three before Alexis Carmosino knocked down a jumper and Ashley Nunez finished with a three-pointer for the eleven-point advantage.

Second Quarter

Scoring came at a premium in the second with only a triple from the Eagles and a Keona Loftis buzzer-beater for a 29-23 Sully lead at the half.

The lead was soon cut to one until Kayla James finished the third with a jumper for a 44-41 lead going to the fourth.

Fourth Quarter
The Eagles opened the final period with first seven for a 48-44 advantage. Sully continually cut into their lead and retook it with a Carmosino triple to lead 57-56 late in the fourth. Ozarks answered with a jumper their next time down the floor and neither team found the bottom of the net again in a 58-57 win for the Eagles.
