Juniata tied and took the lead (34-31) on back-to-back Olivia Berg 3-pointers. It capped a 14-4 run with 5:19 left in the third. 

Marywood responded with nine straight points. Cavoli made a fastbreak jumper off a Finley Bittenbender feed with three minutes remaining in the third to reclaim the lead. Blume knocked down a 3-pointer to go ahead 40-34 with 37 seconds remaining.

Juniata cut the deficit to three (47-44) with a Bri Bodtorf bucket from Berg. McDonald ignited a 11-1 run that finished with three consecutive 3-pointers by Cavoli and Ciullo.
