Both quarters in the first half ended with the teams tied in score. Where the Bold lacked in rebounds (seven to McMaster's 14), they made up for in shooting percentage (36.8 in the first and 40 in the second from the field). 

TMU looked alert on both ends in the third quarter, shooting 41.2 per cent and getting rebounds. Going into the fourth, the team was leading by four.
