In the 2nd, it was more of the back and forth action between the two teams. A late run, & a 13-10 quarter run for the Lady Bruins gave them a 29-21 lead over the ‘Nettes as we hit the half.

 

Early on in the 3rd, Pickens went on a 5-0 run to cut the Northwest Whitfield lead down to three. The Lady Bruins however, answered with a 23-4 run the rest of the way in the 3rd to stretch out their lead on the ‘Nettes, 52-30, going to the 4th.
