Becker went on a 19-3 tear in the second half to distance themselves from BSM.

BSM opened scoring with a surprising 3 from LaToya Williams. Becker regained the lead at 7-5 led by Brianna Mastey's old fashioned 3 point play. Brittany Mayclin, BSM point guard, picked up her 2nd foul and sat. So BSM without Kachine Alexander (foot), Sam Morgan (knee) and Mayclin on the bench used their second string perimeter players and they scrapped and scraped back into the lead. They strung together five straight possessions on a 11-2 run to get the 16-12 lead. Rachel Tondryk had five points, including a 3 in the run. But Brianna Mastey put Becker on her back like she has done all year and scored on the next possession. The offenses cooled in the last seven minutes of the half with Becker outscoring BSM 6-5. BSM did lead however 21-18 at the break. Brianna Mastey had 12 at half.

Things broke Becker's way with a 17-1 run from the 15 minute mark on to the 6:50 mark. BSM went 1/13 at that time on their possessions. Only four were on turnovers. Becker was cleaning the glass, limiting BSM to one shot. Brianna Mastey, once again, had five of the 11 stops in that stretch. At that point it was Becker 39-25. The game never got into single digits after that.
