Washington was followed by a 6-0 spurt by Glenn with Tami Lidgard leading the attack. The Panthers then went to a delay game forcing the locals to abandon their 2-3 zone defense.

Falcon coach Scott Hostetler admitted that the Panther defensive pressure gave his young team fits all night, particularly in the fourth period when his charges turned the ball over 10 times. From the field, the Falcons hit on 13 of 36 tries for 36 percent and Washington dropped in 20 of 59 shots for 34 pecent. At the charity stripe the locals drilled 10 or 15 attempts while the Panthers managed only 3 of 10 attempts. Sophomore Tracey Legge tallied 14 points to pace the Falcon attack. Tiffany Boatman, Zayed Henry and Tasha Reed each netted 10 points for Washington. The Falcons closed out their 1992-93 season with a much improved 8-12 record. The eight wins are the most wins in a season for a local quintet since the 1985-86 season. Washington improved to 11-8.
