The Lady Cougars were led in the quarter by the play of junior Alexus Hardin, who came off the bench to score five consecutive points during a crucial time in the period in which the Lady Tigers threaten to make a run.

In the fourth quarter, the Lady Tigers would make the score 48-40, when Cymone Jeffries gathered an offensive rebound and scored.
