Snow College jumped out to an 11-9 lead early in the first quarter but would go into the second quarter tied at 13.  The Bruins gained a four-point lead within the first few minutes of the second before going on a 19-3 run over a five-minute stretch to take a 20-point lead.  The Bruins would eventually lead 43-26 at the halftime break.
 
The Badgers would not be able to cut into the lead beyond 14 points in the third quarter.  They would trail by as much as 23 en route to the 86-66 defeat.
 
Three Badgers finished in double figures led by Samiana Suguturaga who scored 13 points on 4-6 shooting.  Marika Collins put in 12 points and grabbed six rebounds while Grayce Glover tallied 10 points and four rebounds in the loss.
