The opening bucket was a two-pointer by West Clermont's Taylor Schmidt, and Mount Healthy got on the scoreboard with a layup by Ma'Ziyah Hunter. At the end of the first quarter, the Wolves held a 9-5 lead.


Schmidt continued her hot shooting early in the second quarter with another triple to push the West Clermont lead to 14-5, before an and-one by Ladasia Carter finally stopped the run. After two more Carter free throws, West Clermont ended the half on a 11-0 stretch to take a 25-10 lead into the locker room. Schmidt led all first-half scorers with 10 points.


The third quarter was a slight Mount Healthy advantage, with the Owls winning the frame 10-7. The score at the end of three was 32-20 West Clermont.
