1Q: The opening tip was won by the Flivvers as they were able to capitalize on their first offensive possession. The Redettes turned the ball over on their first possession as they were starting all five seniors to honor them for senior night.

The Flivvers were able to jump out to a 6-2 lead but Marquette quickly caught up to pace to take an 8-6 lead. The Redettes press caused troubles for the Flivvers in the midway parts of the quarter. Lingle and MacPhee checked into the ball game with 3:04 remaining, to form the normal starting lineup.
