The Eagles scoring would slow down in the second quarter, finishing the half with 12 points while limiting Fort Kent (0-3) to just six points in the quarter to control a 36-16 advantage heading into the break. 
 
The second half would be all Husson as the Eagles rolled off back-to-back 22-point quarter while limiting the Bengals to just 21 second-half points on the night.
 
Donovan finished the night with a 16-point, 17-rebound double-double adding three blocks. In the victory, Donovan broke her career high in rebounds while securing the second most rebounds in a game. Porter scored 13 points while fellow junior Trinity Montigny pulled down 11 boards for a new career high.
 
Husson controlled a 49-29 edge on the boards while shooting 44 percent from the floor and limited its opponent to 23.3 percent.
