• The Panther offense continued their slide after the break, and the Lions took advantage, quickly cutting the lead to just 3 points after 4 minutes played in the 2nd half. After a timeout cooled down the Lions, Cailey Barnett hit a three from the top of the key to reignite the Panther offense. The Panthers finished the quarter on a 13-6 run that saw the Lions convert only one field goal, a layup with 13 seconds left in the quarter. The highlight of the period came with 3:45 to go. Cassidy King pulled down a defensive rebound and quickly found Hannah Lary streaking away on the break.

• The Panthers were able to continue building momentum in the 4th, eventually pushing their advantage to a game-high 15 points on a Daizjah Brown three. With 2:40 to go Penn State-DuBois hit a long three to get their deficit back to 10 points, but Lary hit a three and made a late layup to secure the Panther win.
