The Crimson Storm got hit in the mouth early when LCUY went on a 23-5 run after Thiam buried a game-opening trey. The Lady Chaps held a double-digit lead for most of the first half and were up 36-24 with 2:22 left in the first when the Storm went on a late run to cut it to 36-30 with 38 seconds left. LCU got a last second bucket to take a 38-30 lead into the half, but SNU scored the first six points out of the gate to make it a two-point game.
 
Southern Nazarene closed the gap to one on four different occasions and were down just 51-50 with 11:18 left, but never took the lead. Marra tried to keep the Storm in the game late when she hit back-to-back buckets to make it a 65-58 game and drained a pair of free throws, as she was 6-for-7 from the line, to make it a 68-60 game with 4:39 left.
 
LCU though put the game away as it closed the game with a 13-2 run to take an 81-62 lead with just 14 seconds remaining.
 
SNU now has just one day of practice before it hosts Wayland Baptist, Monday, for a 1 p.m. Sooner Athletic Conference contest.
