All-Gulf South Conference guard Alex Coyne led the way with game highs in points (20) and assists (12), while her fellow All-GSC performer Katie Bobos went for 19 points and 12 boards. Toni Brewer scored 17 and grabbed 11 rebounds, while Courtney Meyer scored 13 points and picked up 12 rebounds. Coyne also recorded a career-best eight steals in the game, with the last leading to two Toni Brewer points and giving UWF the lead in the second overtime period. Once Brewer scored, Lee did not lead or tie for the remainder of the game.
