Leading the way for PC was Beth Adcock who earned a team-high 15 points. Nikki Sosebee added 10 points and Sheena Trimiar contributed with 10 points and five steals.

After jumping out to a 20-10 lead at the 9:00 mark, Emory entered the half with a 35-22 lead. The Eagles led by as much as 27 before the Lady Lions went on a 7-0 run to finish the game.
