The Sharks shooting struggles the field would be magnified in this quarter as they would go 0-14 from the field and their lone point came off a free throw from Irene Fernandez Pavesio. The Titans would close out the first half with a 21-1 run and finish the first half leading 38-11.
The second half would be more of the same as the Sharks would be outscored by 15 in the 3rd quarter. A strong third quarter by Titans' Andrea Chiquemba and Martina Galvez Narro were the driving force for Eastern Florida.
