STORY
At the beginning of the game, the Sabercats took a narrow lead, as Katelyn Shank put down the first two points of the game. It looked as if the Sabercats would maintain the lead through the first quarter, but Terry Maddy had other plans, as she hit a 3-pointer with just one minute left in the first quarter.
Going into the second quarter, the Sabercats were only down by three, but the Tigers had found their spark and refused to be stopped. They would take an 8-point lead, never looking back.
In the third quarter, the Sabercats only allowed the Tigers to outscore them by two points, but the damage was already done. When the final buzzer sounded, the score would stand at 37-62. The Tigers capitalized on steals throughout the game, banking 21 points off turnovers alone.
