Trailing 42-19 at the half, the Tornadoes out-scored the Wildcats 28-25 in the second half, beginning with a 12-4 run to start the third quarter. A pair of Kelci Rivers free throws cut the margin to 15 points, 46-31, late in the third quarter, but it was as close as Dega got. Rivers finished with 10 points.
