Ripon (1-4) led 13-11 after the first quarter of play, and would lead 17-13 after an Abby Hartmann basket mid-way through the second period. Alma then scored the next eight points to take a four-point halftime lead.

Alma (2-3) used a 9-2 run in the first few minutes of the second half to take control of the game, taking an 11-point advantage with seven minutes left in the third quarter. Ripon battled back to cut the lead to three on a pair of Hartmann free throws in the final minute of the period.
