After trading baskets in the first three minutes of the second half, the Broncos used a 12-0 run to open up the game. Lalotte, Abby Muse and Mandy Simpson each scored six points in the third quarter to give the team a 55-43 entering the final quarter. The Vikings could only manage to cut the Broncos lead to eight in the final quarter as Boise State sealed the victory.
