The Black Knights picked up the intensity and went on a 14-5 run to get some space from the Raiders as Army held a 21-12 lead midway through the half. Neither team wanted to put the ball in the basket it seemed like until Mariah Jones hit one from downtown to cut the deficit to six with 8:39 remaining.

Repoli ended the drought with a huge three-pointer and then followed with a jumper to cut the lead to 21-20 with 2:47 left. However, Army wouldn't let the Raiders take the lead, as it ended the half with a 4-0 run to take a 25-20 lead into the locker room.

The Black Knights came out the locker room with a 17-7 run to build a 15 point lead 42-27 with 11:38 remaining. Colgate attempted several times to cut into the Black Knights lead, but every attempt fell short as Army would regroup and create space.
