They maintained their momentum in the third, outscoring Oakland 19-15 to take a 52-46 advantage into the final frame, thanks to 13 points from Katie Davidson. Oakland's defense picked away at the Jags all game but they turned up the pressure in the final frame forcing six IU Indy turnovers in just the final quarter.
 
Maddy Skorupski led Oakland with 25 points. A crucial 11-0 run in the fourth quarter sealed the Jaguars' fate. Skorupski's clutch jumper in the final seconds ensured Oakland's victory.
