Glenburn opened with a 13-4 first quarter and never looked back. Chargers head coach Jennifer Folsom had an opportunity to get every player into the game for meaningful minutes, and nine of the 10 players on the team scored. Glenburn out scored Caravel 12-5 in the second quarter for a 25-9 halftime lead.

Any chance of a comeback by Caravel went out the window in the third quarter, as Glenburn went on a 10-0 run to take a 35-0 lead to put the game away with just over two minutes left to play in the period. The Chargers held the Bobcats scoreless in the third period, and also in the fourth quarter as they out scored them 11-0 to close out the game.
