BSE held a 17-6 opening quarter lead and led 33-23 at halftime. South Central still trailed by 10 heading into the final quarter but battled back and connected on three trifectas with Abby Hahn hitting two and Katlyn Hilmes one. The Cougars tied the score at 48-48 but BSE connected on two free throws to go up 50-48. With 9.8 seconds remaining, South Central got off a shot but it fell short.

"If you take away the first quarter, we played a good game," said South Central Coach Gary Kapper. "The girls didn't give up, even after being down in the first half. We are still learning to play together as a team with some new varsity players. We have fundamental things to work on to get better, but they gave a tremendous effort. If we give that kind of effort every night, win or lose, that is all you can ask for."

BSE was led by Claire Wilhour with 11 points. South Central was led by Abby Hahn with 17 and Alannah Sigrist with 14.

South Central drops to 0-3 in the conference and overall.
