MN Fury jumped to a 13-0, saw the lead evaporate, then inflate again before a late rally by Iowa Elite fell short 63-57.

Iowa Elite tried to stop the momentum with a time out at 6-0. IE failed to score on their first 10 possessions. In part two IE found the bottom of the basket they rattled off eight straight scores. They cut the deficit to 23-18 with a 18-10 run. The Fury controlled part three with an 18-5 run. IE had another drought with seven possessions empty. IE called a time out with one second left. That set up a mid court three by Sam Rinehart. The Fury led at half 41-23. The Fury also had 18 points on second chancers in the first half, the exact margin at the break.

The second half was divided into three parts. In part one the Fury kept adding to their lead stretching it out to 54-33. IE had another drought, this time 8 possessions. On the flip side IE put up a furious rally with a 24-9 finish. All this despite having two players foul out. Ali Browning had 8 points in the IE run. The final was the closest IE got in the second half.
