Minnehan scored 16 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. She shot 7-for-14 from the floor, and handed out three assists. Kennedy Brown scored 12 points for the Loggers (17-4, 10-3 NWC), while Rhae Schulz-O'Neil and Paige Gerhart both added 10.
 
After trailing by just two points, 21-19, by the end of the first quarter, the Loggers took the lead against Whitman in the second quarter. A jumper by Grace Pytynia-Hillier gave the Loggers their first lead, 22-21, since scoring the game's first basket. A bucket by Addison Reardon put the Loggers ahead, 24-21, with seven minutes left in the first half.
 
Whitman closed out the second quarter with a 6-0 run to take a 41-35 lead into halftime. The Loggers never reclaimed the lead in the second half, and Whitman built its lead to double digits by the middle of the third quarter.
