The teams traded leads for the first 13 minutes of the game until Hofstra's Candice Bellocchio hit a lay up to spark a 10-0 run for the Pride over 4:30 to give Hofstra a 26-16 lead. The Huskies managed to score the final four points of the half to make it a six point game heading into the break.

Hofstra rode the hot hand of Nicole Capurso, who went 3-of-5 from three point range for 11 points in the first half as the Pride shot 42.9 percent from the floor and 50 percent from three.

Northeastern was held to 38 percent shooting and were led by Carr's nine first half points.

The Huskies scored the first six points of the second half to tie the game at 28-all, prompting a 30-second timeout from Hofstra just 1:44 into the final frame. Once again, the teams traded baskets until a three-pointer from Kendra Walton gave Northeastern a four point lead at 36-32 with 13:45 to go. Just about three minutes later, Hofstra tied the game on a lay up from Jess Fuller, one of her 12 points in the second half.

The Huskies responded as Walton drained a three, but Fuller and Shante Evans hit baskets to give the Pride a one point lead at 48-47 with five minutes left. After Walton hit one of two free throws to knot the game at 48, Hofstra's Sam Brigham sank a three pointer to make it 51-48 Hofstra with four minutes remaining.

Carr's lay up with one minute tied the game back up for the seventh time. Hofstra turned the ball over with 39 seconds left and Conroy drove to the lane to lay in the go-ahead basket.
