Fullerton did not hold back in the opening minutes as Moriah Serrano let two three-pointers fly putting FC up 6-0. By 4:07, Antelope Valley forced an 11-11 tie on a layup by Niyah Page, but by the end of the first quarter Fullerton owned a 17-16 edge.
A three-pointer by Sydney Nekola put the Hornets back on top 20-16 to begin the second quarter. From there, Fullerton went on a 9-6 mini-run giving FC a seven point lead (29-22). As the final seconds of the first half ticked off the clock, AVC fouled Tatianna Zazuetta and she knocked down one of her two free throws ending the half with a 30-22 lead.

The Hornets finished out the game in strong fashion grabbing their largest lead of 19 with 5 minutes left in regulation (65-46) on a jumper by Angela Zendejas.
