Ayaani Gusman joined the scoring brigade in the second half with four baskets in the third quarter, including a three-pointer and a successful three-point play. Pryor laced her third three-pointer of the contest in the third quarter as well. Entering the final ten minutes, Oakton led 71-51. 

The Owls held a comfortable lead down the stretch, closing out to a 83-64 victory on the road. 

Lopez led all Chaps with 17 points on the night; Gusman and Brown also finished in double-digits with 13 and 10, respectively.
