LaGuardia would push their lead to double digits before the Panthers rallied back in the final minute. They would finish the half with a Takisha Weekes fastbreak layup on the assist from Omicamy Ramos to cut the deficit to 7 points.

BMCC came out slow in the second half, giving up 5 straight points before Ashley Duplan sank consecutive jumpers to stop the Red Hawks momentum. But it would be all LaGuardia after that, led by the CUNYAC Player of the Year, the Red Hawks extended their lead to 22 at the end of the third quarter. After the team combined for just 5 points in the third, Freshman Jermyrah Napoleon provided a spark off the bench in the fourth as she scored 4 quick points to jumpstart the Panthers offense. In the end the Lady Panthers fell to the CUNY Champions by a final score of 72-46, Brooks led BMCC with 12 points, while Kiara Atkins finished with 8.
