Trailing by two at halftime, Austin Peay (2-3) forced two ties in the second half’s opening two minutes. Senior Tiasha Gray‘s layup at the 8:01 mark forcing the game’s final tie, 33-33.

Wright State (3-1) slowly eased the game open over the next 4:30, with the lead hitting 10 points for the first time on a pair of Kim Demmings free throws at the 3:27 mark. The Raiders ultimately used a 23-9 run over the final 8:01 to build a 56-42 lead at quarter’s end.

The second half was in stark contrast to the first two quarters that saw the teams exchange the lead 10 times. Wright State took a four-point lead at the quarter – the largest lead by any team in the first frame – after a JJ Williams three pointer and later free throw.
