Coach Jill Phillips got great productivity from all her players, especially Jasmyn Hardin and Corneisha Henderson. As a duo, they combined for 14 points and 12 rebounds. Hardin, Henderson, and Pogue would lead the Lady Vikes to 25 second chance points, outrebounded the Bulldogs 35-17.

Quierra Drake continued to do a good job finding the open player. She finished with a game high 5 assists and added 4 points. Jade Ballew chipped in with 7 points, and Emily Roper and LaJessica Olverson each added 5 points.
