Sydnee Nelson knocked down a late three with a minute remaining in the half, before a Mia Huberty layup reduced UIU's deficit to two points with 30 seconds remaining. Huberty and Brooke Evenson both finished with seven points in the half, while Evenson added a block and a steal. The Peacocks assisted on seven shots in the first half, with Katie Tornstrom leading the way with four assists.

Upper Iowa was able to tie the game at 42 apiece three minutes into the third quarter on an Amelia Valentino three-pointer. Drury responded with a pair of layups and midrange jumpers, to gain back their seven-point lead. A UIU 6-0 run would cut the lead to one, with Tornstrom making consecutive jump shots, before Bohr added another layup. Unfortunately for the Peacocks, Drury knocked down three straight three-pointers to end the half, where they gained a ton of momentum and never looked back. The Panthers outscored the Peacocks by ten in the fourth quarter, securing their 12^th victory of the season in an 88-69 victory.
