After another Osprey layup by freshman guard Sanaa Parks, the Scarlet Raptors cut their deficit to 29-27 on a jumper by sophomore forward Carleigh Galasso. That shot, with 4:32 remaining before halftime, was the last points the Raptors managed in the first half, as Stockton closed out the second quarter with 12 straight points, with sophomore guard Adriyana Jennings scoring the first two and last two points of the run.
 
At halftime, the Ospreys held a 41-27 advantage and the Scarlet Raptors never came within single digits the rest of the way. The final score was Stockton's biggest lead of the night.
