2013 Game

The West team started strong, opening up an eleven-point lead early at 17–6. The game was roughly even from then until halftime, when the West led by ten points. Neither team shot well, with the East hitting just over 30% of their shots, and the West hitting 36%. However, the better shooting percentage and a rebounding edge by the West team, coupled with 21 turnovers by the East team, resulted in a large margin of victory by the West team, with a final score of 92–64. The West's Mercedes Russle had a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, which helped her win the Award for Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
