The Eagles upped the lead to 11 on a Megan Baxter (Chantilly, Va.) free throw, but a 14-2 Yellow Jacket run put the guests ahead, 69-68, with 4:43 remaining in regulation. Tory Martin answered to put the Eagles back in front with 4:27 left, and hit another with 2:07 to go to give the Eagles a three-point advantage. RMC hit a three pointer with 34 seconds left to tie the score, and the game went to overtime, tied 74-74.
