The lead was 15 early in the third quarter when CAU fought back and tied the game at 45-45 after Evans' free throw culminated a big 16-4 Lady Panther run.

The lead was only three points for Tuskegee when Denise Stine hit one-of-two free throws with 6:28 remaining to close the gap at 56-53.  But the final six minutes of the game saw CAU outscored by
Tuskegee 15-5 to lead by as many as 15 towards the end.

CAU had 26 turnovers, leading to 27 Tuskegee points, while the Golden Dragons used a deeper bench to outscore CAU 24-8 bench points.
