WSU cut it to two in the fourth quarter at the 9:06 mark on a jumper by Jaleesa Chapel, and again at 5:02 on a Lockhart jumper, 49-47. The teams traded baskets before a Lockhart three followed by a Chapel layup at 3:05 gave WSU the lead again, 52-51.

An Olivia Hackmann layup with 29 second left gave the Redhawks a three-point lead, but a contested three-pointer by TaQuandra Mike tied it up with six seconds remaining.

The Redhawks called a timeout with 3.2 seconds left, and in-bounded the ball but a last shot fell short.

The Shockers were forced to foul and Johnson made her two free throws to fashion the final score, 66-62.
