Junior Victoria Yoder connected on a three-pointer at 6:51 and Frostburg's lead ballooned to 25-16. She hit a second three exactly 60 seconds later for FSU's first double-digit lead of the afternoon, 28-17.
 
Holland, sophomore Kayla Wilson and senior Megan Kelly each connected on baskets late in the second as Frostburg led by 16 on several occasions. The Bobcats led 44-32 at intermission.
 
The Mounties made things interesting in the third quarter as they pulled to within six, 53-47 at 4:40. Rachel Robinson hit a layup at 6:10, knocked down a three-pointer at 5:24 and connected on two free throws at 4:40.
 
Bobcat first-year Anna Reese converted a traditional three-point play at 3:44 to push the lead back to 10, 59-49 following three quarters of play.
 
In the fourth, FSU led by as many as 13 points and Kelly and Yoder closed the game with four free throws inside the final 30 seconds.
 
Yoder led the Bobcats on the afternoon with 23 points on 9-of-18 shooting, with five assists and three steals. Wilson finished with 11 and junior Sydney Stotler led with seven boards.
