How It Happened…
  • First Quarter
    • A lay-up by Brown in the first 13 seconds of the game helped the Bullets to trigger a 9-2 run midway through the frame. From there until the end of the frame, the two squads battled it out defensively as Gettysburg's last set of points came from Tinner at the 3:44 marker, and the final three Haverford points came from the charity stripe.
  • Second Quarter
    • After a defensive first quarter, the Fords and Bullets were feeling it from downtown to open the quarter, as four of the first five made combined baskets were three-pointers. The offensive intensity continued to pick up as both teams combined for 42 points with Haverford out-scoring Gettysburg 22-20. The Fords leading scorer Anna-Sophia Capizzi tallied a trey with 25 seconds remaining to cut the deficit down to two, but the Bullets held on to a 31-29 advantage at the half.
  • Third Quarter
    • The three-pointers continued to rain for Gettysburg as Richson and Gehrin each notched one to start the third quarter. The Orange and Blue pushed its advantage to the largest of the game at 10 (49-39) after registering six-straight points, four of which came from Tinner. Richson capped off the third by hitting a trey to make it 52-44.
  • Fourth Quarter
    • The most significant margin Gettysburg held was 10 points, which occurred twice, but the Fords never backed down. A pair of free throws by Nyla Robinson and a trey by Julianna Clark brought Haverford within three (60-47) with 1:15 showing. Haverford made a strong case for a comeback, but the Bullets netted their last nine points at the charity stripe, hitting a fantastic nine of ten in the final minute.
