The Boxers (5-13, 3-6 NWC) went ahead just before halftime on a second-chance basket by senior Sarah Curl (Portland, Ore.) for the first time in the contest. Curl and Pacific remained in front for nearly the rest of the contest, building a lead as large as 10. The second-chance basket by Curl ended a 10-3 run for the Boxers, who led at the break for the first time on the road on the season.
 
Curl, an All-American candidate, had her fifth double double of the season, pulling in game-high honors with 24 points and 10 rebounds to lead Pacific. She was joined in double figures by Karli McHone (Glenns Ferry, Idaho), who added 13 points.

Pacific added to its lead at the start of the final quarter, scoring eight of the first 11 points for a 10-point lead, 52-42, with 3:13 left in the contest. A resilient Pacific Lutheran squad managed to cut the deficit to three in the closing minutes before McHone made a pair of free throws and Gilbert made one with :14 left to seal the win.
