Elizabeth Limonta laid in two points to knot the game at 29 before Old Westbury responded with a Charlotte Renker jumper to take a 31-29 lead.  Mount Saint Mary used a 19-8 run over the final 8:31 of third-quarter play to retake the lead for good (48-39). With 5:05 remaining in the fourth quarter, Old Westbury pulled within eight (52-44) courtesy of La'Niya Clark's layup before the Knights pushed its lead to a game-high 15 points (62-47) with 55 seconds left. Old Westbury scored five-unanswered points in the final 44 seconds to settle the 62-52 final.
