The home team went 0-for-2 at the free throw line but grabbed an offensive rebound to go to the line once more and put the game away. Meghan O'Brien converted on one of the free throws to push the Lehigh lead to three, giving Drexel a chance to tie the game, 57-54. After a Drexel timeout, Laine McGurk hit an off-balanced three-pointer to even the score. With 1.3 seconds remaining, Lily Fandre drew a foul and went to the charity stripe to take two free throws.
