The Stars responded with a 7-0 run of their own to take a 57-50 lead before the Generals countered with a 18-7 run to take a 68-64 late fourth quarter lead.
 
LSU-A's lead stood at 75-70 with under a minute to play before OCU put together one more run. Dawn knocked down a 3-pointer to cut the Generals lead to 75-73 with 34 seconds left in regulation before senior center Abby Selzer sank two free throws with three seconds remaining to tie the score at 78-78, sending the game to the overtime period.
 
OCU and LSU-A would exchange two point leads in the first overtime but the game was knotted 87-87 at the end of that period. The Stars finally took control of the game by starting the second overtime with a 7-0 spurt, with Selzer scoring the first five points of that run.
 
Posting up to the basket, Selzer made two free throws after being fouled at the 4:48 mark of the second overtime before pushing the OCU lead to 92-87 with a lay-up and free throw at the 3:55 mark. Wilson provided the Stars an insurmountable 94-87 lead with a layup at the 2:53 mark of the period.
 
All five OCU starters scored in double-figures with Selzer leading the way with 27 points and Wilson finishing with 23 points. Dawn and Ankney contributed 18 points apiece and junior guard Paige Pendley finished with 10 points.
