The Scots went into the final quarter trailing the T-Birds 39-31, but staunch low-post defense by SC's rugged junior Uju Chibuogwu helped send the T-Birds' shooters into the deep-freeze, as the visitors were held without a single basket in the final frame.

Former Scot Jalyn Hizey was on fire for the T-Birds in the first half, sinking all four of her three-point attempts on the way to a game-high 14 points. Junior Wurrie Njadoe led the Scots with 13.
Both teams left the court with identical records - 3-4 in league play, 8-7 for the season.
