Despite being outshot in the first half, the Terriers took a two point halftime lead due to 11 forced turnovers and eight second chance points. Wanink led all players in the first half, with 16 points and eight rebounds, four of which were offensive.
 
The game remained evenly played in the third quarter, with the Terriers lengthening their lead to three points heading into the final period. Wanink added 10 more points in the quarter, setting her career high with over 10 minutes left to play.
