Tied at 34-all early in the third, the Saints reeled off 10 straight points to charge ahead. Rake drilled a 3-pointer before Burgos powered for a layup off a Gracie Stugart assist. Burgos tacked on a 3-point play, and a Schadewalt layup put Maryville on top 44-34.
 
Rockhurst went nearly four minutes without scoring before hitting a jumper. The Saints scored seven of the next 10 points to go up 51-39. In the final minute, Olivia Hahn splashed in a triple, and Caden Krohn hit a jumper at the buzzer for a 58-42 lead as the Saints outscored the Hawks by 16 in the stanza.
 
Stugart made one free throw and Rake drained a jumper to start the final 10 minutes. Rake drilled a deep 3-pointer as the Saints pushed their edge to 64-42. Maryville's margin grew to as many as 26 points as the Saints posted their second straight win.
