However, Texas Lutheran would use a 22-5 run spanning into the second quarter to go on top 28-17 with 5:39 left before halftime.

A driving bucket by Caitlyn Collins squared things once again at 52-52 with 4:49 left to play, and after Texas Lutheran pushed the margin to 59-54 with under two minutes to play, Collins buried a triple to trim it to a 59-57 margin with 57 seconds remaining.

Texas Lutheran would knock down two free throws to make it a 61-57 game before Frank scored to cut the deficit to two points with five seconds left, but Austin College would be denied an opportunity to force overtime, as TLU's Bailey Champion knocked down a pair of free thows to seal the game.

Frank finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds, her 10th consecutive double-double, in the loss. Collins added 11 points off the bench, while Lewis had nine points and five steals.
