DuBois came out with firepower, but with a few missed shots, Central Penn took advantage in transition and outscored the Lady Lions by 14 in the third.

Malliah Schreck (Emlenton, Pennsylvania) would have another one of her signature double-double showings as the DuBois fans are used to. Schreck put up 18 points, and pulled down 12 rebounds on the night. Lexey Shick (Rimersburg, Pennsylvania) scored 12 points, had 4 assists, and 3 steals.
