The Lady Raiders would follow with the next five points when Denae Fritz made a three and Bailey Maupin scored a tough layup for the lead, 10-9. Iowa State connected with two free throws to retake the lead, but the Lady Raiders got two back from Johnson to hold a 12-11 advantage. Johnson hit another 3-pointer then Shavers made a layup through traffic to give Tech a 17-13 lead at the end of the period.
