Midway through the quarter the Golden Eagles were able to trim the Griffins lead to 31-23 but the Griffins were able to close the quarter on a 7-0 run to take a 38-23 halftime lead.  Courtney Tomas had four of the seven points during the run.  

Two free throws and a three pointer from Alie Seto in the early portion of the third quarter extended the Griffins lead to 43-27 with 7:15 to play.  Clarion was able to go on a 13-4 run over the final seven minutes of the quarter as they cut the Griffins lead to 47-40 after three quarters of action.  

Over the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Griffins outscored Clarion 11-0 as they took a 58-40 lead.  Seto had five points during the run.  Clarion would get no closer than 14 points down the stretch as the Griffins earned the PSAC West win.
