Still trailing by eight, Maine put together a brief 4-0 run to keep the game in check. Koizar pulled down a rebound and raced up court, cashing in a fastbreak bucket before a pair of free throws from Laia Sole cut the lead to four.

UAlbany answered with a 6-0 run to retake a double-digit lead. Brosseau snapped the run with a triple but UAlbany would lead 35-26 at the break.
