The night cap game was a hard fought battle between two teams that took the game right down to the wire. The Lady Eagles played tough defense in the first quarter to hold Victor scoreless until Bella Scischilone hit a jumper at the buzzer to get Victor on the board. As the two teams played through the second quarter it would be come obvious that it was going be a physical game as both teams would be in the bonus early in the second quarter.
Holding on to a six point lead to start the third quarter Valley Christian went back to playing physical basketball on the offensive end of the court, earning the Lady Eagles multiple trips to the free throw line. As the fourth quarter began to play out it seemed as though the a piece of glass had been placed over Valley Christians hoop allowing the Lady Pirates to chip away at the lead and finish the game with a win.
