Stony Point struggled to keep the ball in their possession, and the Warriors managed to score two free throws and five baskets, collecting 12 points.

Jumping back into the second half, the Tigers took possession of the ball. The Warriors then stole the ball and increased the gap more. The Tigers attempted to make a comeback with five baskets and four free throws, but the Warriors weren’t phased as they continued to score multiple points. . By the end of the third quarter the Lady Warriors were pushing ahead 45-21.
