- CSI opened the final stanza with an 8-2 burst, keyed by a pair of three-pointers from Anglelique Price, to take it biggest lead of the game, at 48-42, with 7:16 left.
- During a closing stretch that featured five lead changes and two ties, Wagner was able to wrest the lead for good when junior guard Tanasia Russell sank two free throws with 34 seconds left to give the lead for good at 60-59.
- After CSI committed a turnover underneath its own basket with 26 seconds left, the Dolphins were forced to foul Julia McClure in the open floor with 11 seconds to go and the sophomore calmly knocked down two free throws to make it a 62-59.
