It was much of the same for the second half as the Rustlers were up 82-15 midway through the third quarter. By the end of the third, Golden West extended their lead to a 70 point advantage, 90-19. In the final frame, the home team worked to earn triple digits for the first time this season. They were successful in doing so as the Rustlers closed out their 95 point win, 121-26. Kayla Terry led in scoring and earned a double-double with her 26 points and 18 rebounds. Laoren Jordan also finished with a double double as she scored 10 points and came down with 15 rebounds.
