From there, after a timeout, former Eagle Taryn Woodson scored a layup and was fouled with 15 seconds left. Woodson converted on the ensuing free throw, giving Alvernia its first lead of the contest. The Eagles had a chance on the other end, but failed to convert, and Jenna DeGout knocked down a pair of insurance free throws with two seconds left to seal the win for the home team.
