After a defensive rebound by Josephson, she found Hanna Hoskin for a fast-break two-pointer.
 
In the second half, Hannah Peel connected on a jump shot for her first points of the game. Later in the quarter, she would hit the team's first three-pointer. To start the final quarter Josephson grabbed another offensive board and put it back to her eighth point of the game. In the back half of the final quarter, Hoskin converted on back-to-back three-pointers. Josephson scored the final four points for NC all coming in the paint.
