First Quarter

The opening quarter saw the Cardinal trailing, scoring 11 points compared to the Wolfpack's 18. Lauren Green, a key player for Stanford, struggled to find her rhythm early on. The team's shooting percentage was notably low, with only 30 percent of field goals made.

Second Quarter

In the second quarter, Stanford attempted to close the gap by adding another 15 points to their tally. Sunaja Agara emerged as a significant contributor during this period, scoring crucial points and grabbing rebounds that kept her team in contention. However, despite these efforts, North Carolina State maintained their lead with strong defensive plays and efficient shooting from beyond the arc.

Third Quarter

The third quarter continued in a similar vein with both teams battling hard on defense. Stanford managed another 11 points but struggled with turnovers that hampered their progress. Wrenwyck Ijiwoye provided some spark off the bench but it wasn't enough to shift momentum significantly in favor of the Cardinal.

Fourth Quarter
