The first half featured five ties and saw the Bishops lead by as many as six, 24-18, with just over six minutes remaining in the period.  Meredith, however, closed the half with a 15-4 run to take a five-point lead into the break, 33-28. The Angel run was capped by a Nicole Hall three-pointer as time expired.

The second half was again a see-saw battle, and Wesleyan managed to take 51-48 lead on a Shameika Faircloth jumper with less than four minutes remaining in regulation. Unfortunately for the Bishops, Meredith again closed out the period with a crucial 13-3 run that put the game out of reach.

The Angels were led by Hall's 31 points, six rebounds, and six steals.

Wilson and Richardson were the Bishops' lone double-figure scorers.  Faircloth and Lawanda Scott each chipped in eight points, while Liz Ansley dished out six assists and collected five steals.  Junior Cheyenne Hall grabbed a team-high six boards.

The difference in the game came at the free throw line where Meredith knocked down 91.7 percent of its attempts (11-of-12) compared the NCWC's 53.4 percent (7-of-13).  The Angels also won the battle of the boards 33-26.
