Alyssa Dario would hit a 3-pointer with 1:21 showing on the clock to cut the Mounties lead to 7 at 31-24, but Kassy Larson would get into the lane for a layin with 5 seconds to go to give EOU a 9 point, 33-24 lead going into halftime. Neither team would burn up the nets as NU would be held to 29% shooting and EOU hit 36% of their shots.
 
NU's Chanara Greene would tip the ball in 30 seconds into the second half to make it a 7 points ball game, 33-26, but the Eagles would go cold and Eastern Oregon would heat up and outscore Northwest 22-0 to  pull away and stretch their lead to 29, 55-26 with 10 minutes to go in the game. The closest the Eagles would come would be 18 as the Mountaineers would post their 9th win of the season and improve to 2-0 in conference play.
