TURNING POINT
A 9-0 run early in the third quarter gave the Panthers a four-point cushion. BSC never looked back as the Panthers held the lead for the rest of the game.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- After the Panthers controlled most of the opening frame, freshman guard Serena Pruitt drained a mid-range floater as the first quarter ended to tie the game up at 14-all; capping off Pruitt's outstanding 12-point performance in the first quarter.
- Hendrix scored 13 of the first 18 points in the second half including the first eight of the second frame as the Warriors enjoyed a 27-19 lead with 5:32 left in the half.
- A 9-4 BSC run to close the half brought the Panthers within three at the break.
- BSC outscored the Warriors 18-8 in the third quarter alone to hold a 49-42 lead with 10 minutes left.
- A 9-2 start for the Panthers in the final frame would be enough as Hendrix never got within single digits in the final 8:52 as BSC pulled out a 65-54 victory over the Warriors.
