The Ravens would go on a run over the Patriots to end the first half, doubling their points to the start of the game while Valley Forge struggled with their offense. Ravens would lead at the half 39-29.
The second half, the Ravens got out to a hot start building their lead on the Patriots before they had a rally of their own pulling themselves back into the game. Rosemont would maintain their lead through the first half of the second half but Valley Forge would take the lead from the Ravens for a moment with four minutes remaining. Rosemont would answer with back-to-back-to-back 3 pointers on back-to-back-to-back possessions from Denelle Holly (x2) and Zaki Gomez, giving the Ravens a seven point lead over the Patriots with a minutes thirty remaining.
