The Bees even doubled up the Trolls in the opening quarter at 14-7 after a 3-pointer by Caitlyn Thole. Thole went on and scored the next two buckets to extend the already optimistic lead for SAU. 

The second period was no different as Carrieanne Hungate knocked down a jumper to put the Bees ahead 21-11. Abby Wolter, then, sank two free throws and a layup on back-to-back possessions to help SAU run away with the lead before the halftime break.
