Georgia State scored the first six points of the game and would lead by as much as seven with the score at 11-4 in favor of the Panthers.

The Huskies hung onto the lead as Georgia State battled back to within two, only to see Northeastern use a 7-2 run to push the lead out to seven points with 1:03 left in the first. The Panthers however scored two baskets in the final 38 seconds of the half to make it a one-possession game heading into the locker room with the score 23-20 Northeastern.

Carr scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds in the opening stanza to lead the Huskies while Angelique Burtts had 10 for Georgia State.

After the Huskies opened up the second on the 17-4 run, the Panthers slowly but surely whittled down the large lead. A layup from Cody Paulk cut the game to 10 points with 2:57 remaining while Burtts hit a jumper with 1:49 on the clock to bring the game back to single-digits at 46-38. It would be as close as Georgia State would get as Carr and Jamie Conroy hit free throws down the stretch to cement the 10-point win for the Huskies.
