In the first half, Carroll led 20-8, but Monmouth responded with a 15-4 run to come within a single point on Elise Waldorf's lay-up with five minutes left. After taking a 36-30 halftime lead, the Pioneers once again threatened to break the game open, leading 44-32, but the Scots cut the gap to 50-48 when Laura Jahn scored in the paint midway through the half. The hosts regained some breathing room, but the Scots battled to the final minute, when they cut the gap to four points on a Mallory Mulvihill trey and to three points on Ashley Yeast's lay-up with 10 seconds left. Two seconds later, though, a Carroll free throw sealed the victory.
Yeast played a superb game for the Scots, scoring a career-high 26 points to go with 11 rebounds and five steals. Melissa Gorski scored a season-high 11 and Mulvihill dished out six assists.
