The Minutewomen converted on seven of their first 12 shot attempts from behind the 3-point line and pulled back within one at 28-27 with just over eight minutes left in the second following a 3-pointer by Dallas Pierce. UMass had six different players knock down shots from beyond the arc in the opening half with Williams and Bellamy each converting a pair from deep to head into the half with six points apiece.

The Huskies scored their first nine points of the final quarter from the free throw line, finishing the quarter 13-of-20 from the line and 24-of-33 on the night.
