The visiting Lions responded with a three and pair of good free throws from Jessie Silk (Newton, MA) to take the lead at 23-20 early in the second quarter. WPI then converted on its next seven of eight possession highlighted by threes from Allison Fullem (Underhill, VT) and Hyams and featuring layups from Allyn and Ava Giansiracusa (Whethersfield, CT) to a 36-28 lead with 2:43 remaining in the first half. Allyn and Fullem knocked down late free throws to take a 39-28 lead heading into the intermission as the Engineers connected on 15-of-31 shots from the field as the visitors stayed within reach shooting 40% from the floor.

Giansiracusa knocked down a key three and Stone followed with a layup to push the lead to 55–37 with just over seven minutes remaining. The Lions scored the final four points, but the Engineers' defense held on to close out the 55-41 victory.
