Marina Callahan gave the Hounds their first lead of the game (23-22) with a layup at the 1:17 marker, but the hosts would add a free throw and a layup in the final minute to take a 25-23 lead to the intermission. 
 
The Ravens started to pull away in the third quarter, as they held the Greyhounds to just 2-of-8 shooting from the floor with three turnovers, while Franklin Pierce connected on 5-of-9 from the field and 4-of-5 from the charity stripe. FPU would carry a 41-32 lead into the fourth.
