Junior Aika Emmanuel registered double figures with 12 points. Freshman Rachel Burnett added eight points and nine rebounds and senior Ashley Tallman had eight points. Emmanuel also dished out a team-high four assists.

Despite a late comeback attempt from the Warriors, USP's shooting sealed the victory when they eventually pulled ahead by 16.
The 12-25 point disadvantages off turnovers would end up being the deciding factor in the game.
