This time, the Blue Angels hit 3-of-12 from the field and 2-of-7 from the line. After twenty minutes of action, the Knights enjoyed a 25-18 lead.

As they have multiple times this season, the Blue Angels turned things around after their halftime talk. MMU came out in the third and hit 46.2 percent from the field along with 6-of-9 from the free throw line. Erica Williams led that third quarter effort hitting 3-of-4 from the field and a perfect 4-of-4 from the line. Along with their offensive surge, the Blue Angels forced the Knights into seven third-quarter turnovers.

With the Knights leading 40-36 to begin the fourth, the Blue Angels quickly carried their momentum from late in the third to the final frame as MMU tied the game 90 seconds into the quarter. After the two teams traded buckets, the Blue Angels began hitting their free throws at an impressive rate to recapture the lead. Williams hit a pair of free throw at the three minute mark to tie the game at 50, then Nyasia Hardy (Fr./Fort Wayne, Ind.) hit a free throw to give MMU the final lead of the game.

As a team, the Blue Angels went on to hit 10-of-12 in the final five minutes of action to take the lead and the team's third straight victory; MMU's longest win-streak in their record breaking season last year was five.
