At that point a Delran defender was assigned to stick to Cristaldi like glue. As a result, Cristaldi scored no points in the third period. In fact, Summit managed only six points, while Delran chalked up twelve, including a three-point shot at the buzzer that tied the score at 31-31 at the end of three quarters.

Delran took the lead at the start of the final period on a foul shot. Mishandling by three Summit players under the Delran basket let the ball slip to the lone Delran player in the melee, and she put it up for a basket to give Delran a 35-38 lead. With 1:16 remaining, and Delran leading 38-37, Cristaldi stole the ball and scored a layup to put Summit on top 39-38. At 0:28.5 Cristaldi made another steal that led to two made free throws that gave Summit a 3 point margin. Kate Martino followed with two more free throws, and Summit held on for the victory.
