The Panthers came back in the second quarter taking a 37-36 lead on a layup by Hall at 6:20. Jasmine Arnold knocked down a three-pointer giving FC back a 41-40 lead. By halftime, the Hornets bumped their lead to 52-45.

The second belonged to Fullerton as the team maintained a double-digit lead taking its largest lead of 23 by the end of the game.
