It was all Columbus State in the opening quarter as the Lady Cougars raced out to a 15-2 lead. Senior Chrisalyn Boston had her shot going early, scoring six of the CSU's first eight points before an Olonna Rawls 3-pointer stretched the margin to 11-2 just over five minutes into play. Buckets by Amber Abusbeih and Aryan Dozier made it eight consecutive points by Columbus State to end the quarter. Georgia College scored back-to-back shots to begin the second to pull within seven, 15-8, but CSU responded with eight of the next 11 to extend the lead to 23-10 with under four until the break. Both sides would struggle offensively towards the close of the half, with GC scoring the only bucket in the final 3:30 to go into the half down 23-13.

The Bobcats made things interesting to begin the second. GC scored the first six points of the half to cut the Lady Cougar lead to just four, 23-19. However, Columbus State had an answer. A 12-2 spurt, including four points apiece from Abusbeih, Emilia Tenbrock and Jurnee Smith, ended the GC's momentum and gave CSU a comfortable 37-24 lead. Early in the fourth, Georgia College managed to crawl within seven on three occasions. Four straight Bobcat free throws began the quarter to make it a 37-30 margin, but two buckets by Madi Phillips pushed CSU's lead back to 12, 44-32, with 7:12 to play. GC had one final comeback attempt left as Keyonna Wesley scored the next five points to bring GC within seven again. The lead would remain at seven, 46-39, before Columbus State iced the game with a 14-2, thanks to going 10-for-12 at the free throw line over the final three minutes.
