First Quarter

The opening quarter saw the Cavaliers take an early lead with a strong offensive performance, scoring 22 points compared to the Tigers' 10. The home team capitalized on their shooting efficiency, making half of their field goals and setting a solid foundation for the rest of the game.

Second Quarter

In the second quarter, Clemson began to find their rhythm. Rachael Rose led her team by contributing significantly in assists and points. Despite this effort, Virginia maintained control with effective defense and timely scoring from beyond the arc. The quarter ended with Clemson narrowing down some of their deficit but still trailing behind.

Third Quarter

The third quarter was marked by increased intensity from both sides. Raven Thompson emerged as a key player for Clemson, showcasing her shooting accuracy by converting two-thirds of her attempts into points. However, despite these efforts and outscoring Virginia in this period (19-14), they could not completely close the gap due to turnovers that allowed easy fast-break opportunities for Virginia.
